New macro lens - some insect pics

[ranchwife]

I received a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens for Christmas. I believe insects amy favorite things to take photos of. These are just some of my favorites that I wanted to share. What do you think?

Great shots, looks like you have got the hang of it! Macro lens can be quite addictive. The only frustrating part (at times), is the shallow depth of field. This can be overcome by focus stacking.

I use a Tokina 100mm F/2.8, which works nicely as a 100mm prime lens too. Mine set me back $400.
