went out and spent a whole day doing macro photography on sunday, i've not been out with the camera for a while and it was good to be out and about.
all shots taken with the d90 and tokina 100mm f2.8 with either a set of extension tubes or a 2x converter, some are with both. also used my custom flash bracket which i'll post a picture of later as i dont have any yet, some were taken with the flash hand held or strapped to the lens.
all shots are un-cropped with most having a bit of levels tweaking is ps.
C+C always welcome.
thanks for looking
