Started shooting Macro for the first time this year. I couldn't find my off camera cord for the flash, so I was forced to used either the Sigma 150 by itself or with 3 tubes.

I'm a little rusty from not shooting macro for awhile, so please excuse the shots. :D

All were shot handheld.

He must be new, his wings aren't developed yet.

    Wow Jody, excellent post clap.gif
    Love the Dragon fly shots, and my favourite spider too The Jumping Spider, those would have to be the cutest little fella's to photograph, I see them in action and I can't help but think of Crabs on the beach :D

    Nice to see another Macro-a-holic on the forum Jody thumb.gif

    Great work Jodie and handheld to boot. I love the epic ant battle shots and of course the jumping spider are great. Heck, their all great.

    Love all of your dragonflies, especially #13. I'd love to be good enough to have this be the quality of my 'rusty work'. clap.gif
