^ They were all taken at Butterfly Gardens on the Island. Went over for the day on Thanksgiving weekend with the family.
I'd love to go back there with a tripod and external flashes as there's just so much to shoot. I have lots of shots of butterflies, but as I said, with the slow shutter speeds they often came out blurry.

Wow, definately a big fan of macro too! How did you guys take pictures of the bee's and bugs without getting stung or bitten?!
Macro shows a lot of detail, but the parts not in detail give me a huge headache. But those pictures still amaze me - every single one!

Patience mostly. Of course many do fly away, but overall you get some good shots. Gotta take what you can get.

Played around with my MPE-65mm today. Didn't get anything too crazy. Just some common fly's. Man this thing is sharp! This picture is maybe 2 times lifesize? I haven't even got down to 5 times just yet. Its a super tough lens to use, that will get stunning results with practice. 
More better images will come with time. Hope you enjoy the macro's!

5X life size 
Not the best pics by any means, but just to show you what it can do. This thing has such shallow DOF @ 5X its crazy! Those are full frames, no cropping or anything.
Thanks!

That's the max the 100mm macro can do?  Anything closer up? I thought I saw previous images from that lens that are closer.

Gets in pretty close for what it is, but damn does it ever magnify the dust on my sensor  | |

Caught these pictures of some cute lil guy.  
They are called a Dicyrtmina. Interesting little guys. Cool colors! Taken with a 40D + mp-e 65mm macro lens + MR-14EX Flash. Magnification around 4X. Cropped down a bit. So getting maybe 6X life size all together.

I can't wait to pick up a macro lens for my camera..
Any suggestions for a Macro lens for my Nikon? Obviously I dont want some $1000 plus lens...
But I do want something quite good at a reasonable price..
Doesnt matter if its Nikon, Tamron or Sigma branded...hell if I can save some money buying a really good 3rd party lens, I would..
Any suggestions would be awesome...
I cant wait to be able to take pictures like that!
