Your macro shots are sharp, excellent and beautiful :thumbsup:
I am also using Sony A100 (newbie), and keen on learning how to shoot macro... will like to join the alpha shooters on one of the macro outings. Your photos are an inspiration.

Bro Excelglsi , what no horse run ? That fly resting on the hand , that hand is yours ! I am here to let the rest know who i have been out shooting with .:bsmilie:

Anyway , here is my basic setup .

Not so practical , because when wind blows , the DIY bounce card will cause shake to the whole camera , plus hand shake ... :sweat: The the top end of the card will be knocking on bushes or branches ...

This is the result of 1 photo taken by this setup .

Wow! What spider is this? How big is it actually?
If I were to try my reversed lens method, might risk its legs touching the lens if it lifts up. :bsmilie:
Chio! :thumbsup:

Hi , rexlim , this spider are just common spider found in parks & gardens , not a big one , smaller than the size of our camera shutter press . The blue background is because its facing down below the leaf , i have to bent down to take this shot ...:sweat:
