He takes a lot of awe inspiring images. If you go to his blog he addresses his set up. It is really in depth with photos of his gear and such for anyone who wants to get into macro photography. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for looking and commenting, much appreciated.

Tyguy - the exifs are all intact, you can use any exif viewer to look at the info. A mix of 60mm F2 and 150mm + 1.4x teleconverter here.

A little outdated: http://orionmystery.blogspot.com/2009/02/exif-viewer-read-before-you-ask-what.html

Really nice set of photos, the sixth one is my favourite, I love how the spider looks in the ring, with the little green bits of moss around it
