[Numnumball]

you must have very, very steady hands to use 200mm for micro
(Forgot you use D7000, with crop factor, 320mm lens!!!.. very very very steady hands)

Eh.. if you see how heavy my setup is, u wont wan to shoot handheld :sweat:

I shoot on tripod most of the time

Hi Bryan # 24 is excellent.
The pygmy male red color, most of the digital camera has difficulty to handle. I never come across a model can handle well with red color.
Do a stacking on the tail of the male and female pygmy will make the images more perfect.

Bryan, didn't know you are into macro as well, wow, you are an all rounder indeed!:thumbsup:
Just gone through the thread and your macros are quite different from others. I would rather call it insect portraiture instead. Very vibrant colors and nice background.
And you are on countdown now? First baby? Bet you will not be able to sleep for six months after baby arrives. And of course you will be starting a baby thread soon.:bsmilie::bsmilie:
Cheers.
