Wow!!
What a year you've had - these are terrific. The most challenging thing I'm finding is getting these bugs to stay still. How do you do it? Love #8 - what kind of lighting are you using with your lens?

thanks for sharing!

Great images! I have been doing a fair number of bugs, and I am really astounded by the detail you have captured. You may have answered this, but what lens are you using for these shots? And are you using a ring light?

Well you set the bench mark pretty high for the rest of now didn't ya
I have enjoyed watching you advance very quickly I might add.

You are very fortunate to have been able to access such a large variety of bugs and insects as do quite a few of our other Macro Dgrinners,
dang it! I have found nuffin' not a sausage! nuffin!

Though I must admit 2008 was sooooo not a good year for me,
especially health wise.

May 2009 be a wonderful year for all, and I wish you all the Best in find new things to photograph, and I hope I can find something to share with you guys too

Thank you for sharing your Year That Was ..... Skippy
