Just amazing!

Im wondering if those photos were taken handheld cause its really disadvantageous in some way setting up a tripod when doing insect macro, might lose the opportunity before the tripod is set. Thanks.

@manilashark

thats right, no tripod required for these types of shots.

@ninjaonfire12 All you need is any canon Dslr and their 100mm F2.8 Macro. I use the L and I love it.

I looooooooooooooooooooooove this type of photography. I aspire to get these shots. What lens is it?

[Naturaldefenceplant]

about 1/2 taken with canon mp-e65mm and the other half with canon 60mm macro+ 68mm extension tubes.

You can get all these shots with a macro lens that goes to 1:1 magnification then add extension tubes and you will need a flash. :)
