My first macro shots outside with live insects

Much harder. Bugs don't stay put for nothing. Tell me what you think.

Thanks.

They turned out great! good focus on how close you got. What macro lens you using?

Thanks, I used some cheap ($10) extension tubes from ebay and my 50mm 1.8.

Nice first attempt. I have to go for the first image. Is that ant eating the bug?

Im gonna have to order some of these extension tubes, they do a fine job of getting up close.

awesome job for your first time. Im really impressed you went for ants, they hardly ever stand still. practically every other insect is easier to photograph

I like how the depth of field is handled.

Other then the harsh lighting I like them, but I do recommend defusing your light.

Same here. This forum has been very unhealthy for my wallet.
