geezus where do u find all of these bugs? lol im a girl when it comes to creepy crawly stuff. btw what lens are u using?

 

They are out side... In the woods.

I'm using a Sigma 150 2.8 EX HSM DG + Sigma 1.4x TC APO EX + Kenko AF Tube. Recently added a Canon 500D close up filter. I also picked up a Tamron 90mm 2.8 SP Di as well with the Kenko AF tubes.

 

Here's an example of how I shoot macro now
