Tenodera sinensis with new Canon 100mm macro

Unboxed the lens like a school kid, mounted on camera and snapped handheld.

Agent -- Nikki's about 80 in mantid years. She's slowing down. But still snaps Mothra-sized moths out of midair for dinner. Part of the secret, I think, is plenty of hydration (more than you might think they need to drink), warm room and allowing free-roaming to her heart's content. I'd certainly prefer to put ice cream in the freezer rather than mantids.

Congrats on the new lens. If you can get a flash or a flash ring it will help your macro shots out tremendously.

I also use a 100mm macro from Canon. My favorite lens by far.

It would be great to get the Canon MP-E 65mm lens though, thing can blow up an ant's head to fill a 35mm frame in full detail.

Man I'm jealous! I am happy with my sony camcorder and its incredible ability to take great macro footage but I would love to take that kind of photography...

Zapins - I do a lot of human photography (studio), thus own quite a bit of lighting equipment. But not for macro! You're certainly right; I think next step is ring flash for sure and to buy or build a macro studio (light tent).
