Melvyn, when you post the pics, can you give a more distinct title?

Almost missed this post as I thought it was your old post!

Excellent pics as expected. Loved the spider shots. Nice JS captured!

#4 is a very interesting spider....have not seen it bef, and love the mantis shot too!

Very nice shots...

Sharp and nice. How did you shoot the ladybug? I tried once but they always flew away the moment I aproch them and it so tiny to get a good focus.

I thing I always wanted to ask, do you use AF when you encounter difficult to shoot subjects like the ladybug? Last weekend I tried to use AF after failing to focus manually on a small spider.

In the past, I normally would chase the ladybird around to get some shots but since I have some decent picts of them now, I would only shoot those that are willing to pose. This little fellow does not mind me at all

I never use AF to shoot macro. Too slow, inaccurate, noisy (for my lens).

Excellent collection, Melvyne. Seems you've been having a lot macro-fun lately

All these are great macros, and #3 and #8 are my favs.

Thanks for sharing.
