Paul I Think we have same lens, but don't think I could get this close even with all 3 extension tubes. How did you do it? Its awesome! Ladybugs do reflect and this one is, but that's trivial. The magnification and detail is awesome!

Paul Iddon

Thanks Stumble.

It is cropped a little for composition (too much dark in the top left so brought it in to balance out) which of course make the subject look closer. I was about 4 inches from her with the end of the lens with the 3 tubes.

I suppose they need to not be moving, and being sure you use a shutter cable if you can.
