These were captured hand-held in our garden with an EF-mount Laowa 100mm 2:1 macro on a 2X teleconverter on a Sigma MC-11 EF to E adapter on a Sony A7ii with a Yongnuo YN24EX twin flash front-mounted on the lens.
The raw files were processed with presets in DXO PhotoLab and Silkypix, and then image-specific adjustments in Lightroom to produce 1300 pixel high JPEGs which were then adjusted in Topaz DeNoise AI.
There are 1300 pixel high versions of these images in this album at Flickr.
#1 Like its fellows around our little pond, this long-legged fly was hyperactive, only coming to a halt for a few seconds at a time.

#3 A much easier opportunity. Plenty of time for this one.

#4 As much time as I wanted for this one. Even though the angle was a bit awkward I managed to not disturb it (that said, these particular spiders will often put up with quite a lot of photographer-induced movement).

#7 By my calculations the body of this mite was around 1.2mm in diameter. It was racing around at high speed most of the time, which made it difficult to get in the frame. I think I've only ever photographed one of these before, and as far as I recall that stayed still for a long time.
