Handheld 95%+ of the time, on occasion use a monopod. I\'ve shot both film and digital and mostly with the 100 non-L, that will change soon however.
I\'ve been having a great time with extension tubes on a 70-200 f4L IS and 300 f4L IS, and am using IS more everyday. A new 100L IS is in my near future...after I sell my trusty ole 100
I don\' use flash much, just picked up a nice MT-24 twin flash from an FMer, but don\'t have enough time with it to comment on i\'s use...natural light is my preference!
Here\'s a shot from a few weeks back...bees are fast when just starting a pollen gathering...but you can shootem...this is more close-up than a macro shot.
