I was chatting with Hong about photography and I saw a friend post this link on FB. Pretty cool I think:

I have a forest right next to my house and I love taking pictures of bugs. Why have I never thought of this? Great pictures and great idea.

Even using my macro - I couldn't get shots like those. Fabulous!

He's using 180mm macro lens, must cost $$$$!

Since you guys like macro, I hope you will like these pictures that I took this summer so far,

Wow Hong!!! Beautiful! How did you get the critters to stay still for you?! =)
Now you just need to do this in the early morning and you'll get the same effect.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera and lens are you working with?
