Natural light macros

been doing a lot of natural light macro shots recently. Shooting Tv mode, 1/200th, ISO 400 with my sigma 105 with 33mm ext tubes. Tend to only do this on bright but cloudy days. Worth the effort though I think- get wonderful colour with slight loss of detail.

    Thanks for the kind comments :)
    Marina- not sure I would describe #1 as dancing- more like mating (what do you do at dances?) although there is some rythmical body movement involved :)
