Nice Shot Paul, Love the waterdrops
Thank you Bob!
Paul - For just getting your macro lens, you clearly show you have a knack for using it very creatively!! Love your last shot of the ladybug!

Thanks Denise! I've had some good examples set for me here.
This is another one from this morning. Thought it was worthy of posting here too.

This Bug Stinks...or so I have heard.
This was hand held with my 180mm on one of my macro trips. This guy decided to pose for me in the truck as I was driving. (I did stop to take the picture)

Nice Shots!!
My daughter told me she saw a HUGE bug in the basement last night and killed it! I said, what the heck did you kill it for ...you should have called me and I could have taken a macro shot of it first!!
Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I would say something like that!!

Found a Gum Emperor Moth perched in the open during the day. I think it's a female given the antennae are not overly feathered but I'm no entemologist.
It's wings are quite tatty so perhaps it flew across the Tasman from Steve U's back yard to get some sunshine! Couldn't get a shot when it had the lower wings unfurled to show their spots unfortunately.

Both are on Flickr, click on the picture for full EXIF.
1D2N with original 100mm macro (non USM), 550EX flash on hotshoe at -7deg tilt, allon a monopod with ball head.
Manually focussed but not down to 1:1 for these two given it's a large moth. Manual exposure of 1/125sec, f/11.0, ISO 100, +/- 0 FEC.
Paul.
Took these today for a challenge I was posting on my blog. Thought I would share.
