Thank you for the compliments Greg and Rich. My macro photography skills with really small objects is still a work in progress where it is just so new to me. I have so much fun doing it where it's fun to show off the results. Thanks for looking.


I just now read up on how to lock up the mirror as that would have really helped cut down on some of the vibration. With the 100mm macro lens I'm only a few inches away from the subject in the shot I made so that steadiness becomes even more important. I have a Giottos MTL 9371 tripod where you can pull out the center column and mount it horizontally which can allow you some freedom to get closer to your subject while doing this kind of work. Its was extended to its max where things where getting a little shaky. Lesson learned this time around.
