Hi John ! Great shots with a very good SLR . I use Canon most because I had a lot of Lens`s in the EF serie that I also can use on my digital SLR . On details You shoud try to use a tripod of good quality , I use Manfrotto tripod . Use only the natural daylight , set opening time to about 20 sec. dont thouch the Camera use a remote control to take the pics . And no Flash . Try to adjust opening time both ways , steps in 1 or 2 sec . This will give a great deept in the photo`s on macro pics , about 3- 4 cm from the Lens . PS ! This can only be done on "stillstanding" motives . PS ! Also using a Macro Lens Canon EF 60mm / 2.8 Jan Arne NB ! Pics taken for Gordon for his comming Book . Original sice is 1520 x 1605
