Wow, just amazing! Are you using a flash of any sort? How are you getting such detail? It's like you and them are perfectly still and focused.

Thanks again K.

Yeah, you need to be pretty steady.

These were with the MP-E 65 at around 2 x mag @ f/13 I think so the working distance is fairly close and the dof is minimal, therefore the focus has to be spot on. I simply use the in-out method to focus by moving the camera back and forth slightly to nail it. It's a manual focus lens but AF is useless really in these circumstances imo.

You'll see (well read about) my flash set up in this Thread I replied to earlier today. I can take and post pics if you want to actually see it.
