Post your best Macro shots

Awesome images, Joel. The contractors are coming soon to build me a nice workbench in my garage. I plan on making part of it a dedicated macro studio so I can set up my rails and lighting to keep me busy this winter.

Here's one from a recent trip out with the butterfly club.

Thanks....it is a fun lens and using a rail for stack focus makes even more fun!

Mark - Both are great. Are you using tubes?

[M_Six]

Thanks all. No tubes for these. Just the 100L on my 6D.

I love spider webs with water drops.

Awesome shot, Joel. Do you use a DoF calculator to determine the distance of each focus movement for your stacks or do you just wing it?

Thanks! I just look through the view finder, focus at a point nearest me and "wing it' from there.
