Great work as always! I was bragging about your awesome macro skills at work to my buddy. LoL. I said, this dude sneaks up on all kinds of insects and takes the coolest pictures ever! I will be showing off your work on Monday. It's truly inspirational and makes me want to get off my ass and go out there and photograph.

40mm extension tube + Tamron 90mm f/2.8 ... I'll get some good photos one of these days...

Oh my goodness these photographs are amazing! I absolutely adore bees :)

@sarhlou I got my new lens yesterday and it's been overcast all day... I'm so sad as I want to play with it but with the extension tubes, it's hard to do in low light levels...  That bee picture is a little blurry - but it was too fun of a shot making the bee look like a 2 year old digging his face into the cereal bowl...  Thanks for the compliments :-)

Much better than the extension tubes with the standard 18-55mm lens... Can't wait for some more time with it. Will get better ones than these. (Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP AF/MF 1:1) - D5100 --- The main advantage seems to be that I don't have to shoot at 2000+ISO anymore.
