Not as good as I have seen on this site. Any advise would be helpful. Nikon d-90, 105mm macro, f-16, 1/200, iso 400, 36mm tube.

In my opinion, Dale, your photos are excellent. I especially like #3, #4, and #5. Pay particular attention to any comment from Nikonian72, as he has considerable knowledge of macro photography, and "bugs" in particular!
Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

Besides natural sunlight, what illumination set-up are you using? My concern is lack of diffused light, which can actually sharpen your photographs.

Nikon SB-R200 i-TTL Wireless Remote Speedlight is not designed to operate from the camera hotshoe. They are designed to be triggered Remotely, from camera pop-up flash, or SU-800 infrared flash controller mounted on the hotshoe. Is one of these your system?Nikon SB-R200 ttl with diffusers.

I like #1 if it was cropped - it is more of a close up
3,4&5 are great - I hope I can do as well some day.

They call them extreme close-up positionig adapters. Diffuser might be the wrong terminolgy.

We have found that soft, diffuse light is better for image detail capture, than harsh light. Consider adapting, or making diffusers for your twin speedlights. White paper towel works just fine.
