You can if they are hosted elsewhere.

I'm trying to get the most out of my macro photography. These were both shot in my front yard, without my macro lights or focus rail. Canon 6D with 180mm L stacked on the Canon Life-Size Converter EF. I use a Benro carbon fiber tripod with an AcraTech ballhead. I usually just run the ballhead with a bit of friction, rather than locked down. Focus is with a cheap viewfinder over the screen to block reflections, and at 5x and 10x in Live View.

I've had to sharpen both images a bit, and don't like to spend much time in post. Perhaps if I knew what I was doing (I've shot film more than digital in the last 30+ years), I'd spend more time in post. Suggestions welcome.

The creepy spider was shot at 1/50, f/11, ISO 400. Surprised it's as sharp as it, given the magnification.

This little grasshopper was trying to hide from me. I shot a series with his face on either side of the lavender stalk, as he would move back to the other side, as soon as I got my camera in position. 1/50, f/9, ISO 800.

Your Flickr link is different from those of images which display directly here. (It is longer and lacks a .jpg). Perhaps a Flickr user will tell you how to do it.

Started this genre of photography this year as I became interested in the beauty of small insects. It's a fantastic hobby and you can get good results without spending a lot.

Thanks for looking.

Amazing detail.

You should be posting in your own topics.

A lot of microscope lenses, copying lenses and reversed enlarger lenses are used in extreme macro.

Microscope lenses are often used on the front of a photographic lens, typically 200mm, the latter may be referred to as the "tube lens". A tube lens need not be of very high quality.

If you put a high quality supplementary lens on the front of a lens of moderate quality you may be surprised at the improvement.

Not as such but there may be something here:

I like it. The water drops make the bodywork more interesting without distracting.

I agree, sometimes I'll take pics of badges on old machinery and they nearly always look more interesting after a shower of rain.

I'm curious. Are some of those super closeups being done on live insects?

I just bought my first macro lens last month. Olympus 60 with the G9.

I tried uploading a few, but they were too big.
