I like your macro shots. Do you use any extension tube or filter to get to that close? How do you take these shots without alerting those tiny "models"?

Glad you like it bro , didn't use extension tubes, for #242 i used Raynox DCR 250 on an E-M5 with 60mm macro lens. The rest are without DCR 250. 60mm has a field of view equivalent to 120mm on full frame, that gives quite a comfortable working distance at 1:1. Images are also cropped to web size, hence, subject will appear larger than in original shot.
