I just brought home my first macro lens.....
Yeaaaaaa!
I chose the Sigma 150 and already I can see quite an improvement over the kit lens that came with my digital EOS camera - Canon Rebel XT. Action shots have been a challenge for me as am just learning but with Mommy Gray Squirrel always hopping and jumping about in the backyard I will certainly get plenty of practice shots. Thanks Mom. Here the lens is not set to macro. The shutter speed notably surpasses what I was using.
I am following up verbal gratuity for my unknowing subject with more substantial rewards of peanuts, corn cobs and whatever else her little heart desires. The bird feeder will no longer be her only obsession. A trip to the feed store is on my list! Ok.... Daddy Squirrel can partake too.

A canon XT with 150 macro? now you are getting closer to my dream setup :DD
will you get ETs to shot bug close ups?
Appears your setup is doing very well.... awesome shots ;0)
ETs... ha... funny.
Seriously ... wrap up the bug and send it on its way - cute!
Ah now I understand the flickrmail
its not my setup, its the one Im dreaming of, almost bought a XT with a 105mm last year, but i'm still on compacts
haha with ET I meant extension tubes, they increases the magnification without quality loss (you just need to get closer to the subject)
Oh... told you I'm an amateur ;0)
... got miles to go before I can photo like yours. Just went back through your flickr stream. Those millipedes are awesome. I'll practice on mine. It appears I will have to break down and get some flashes one day...$$$$
Take care ;0)
There are alternatives to external flashes, I sent you a mail with my difuser
