I just ordered some extension tubes to go even tighter, as well as a ring light to help light these things up and get shorter exposures. Realizing that this part of the hobby could become expensive!

Here are some bugs from here in Pittsford (I'm on vacation). I haven't gotten the extension tubes yet . . . this is just with the 100mm macro.

The new equipment came in today. I haven't had much time to play, only a few minutes for first light.

This is a daddy long legs close up using a Canon 100mm Macro f2.8 IS, a complete set of Kenko extension tubes, and a macro ring light. I have to learn to control the light coming off of the flash, I'm over-exposing. I shot this in M mode, 1/125, f16, ISO 320, with flash.

And some more with the new equipment:
