Just a few more from the last while. The first three were shot today. The #4 from a few days back. All using the MP-E65mm and MT-24EX twinlite flash.

Thanks for looking. Comments always welcome. :)

Insane shots! Well done. BTW any tips on a cheap way of getting into macro? I’ve heard something about a 50mm F1.8 and extension tubes or something? :?

Sounds like a good option Brian, without comitting to spending too much.

Thanks Dathi. Its easy to capture these guys when they are pre-occupied with cleaning the pollen off.
