I have a Canon 40D with the 2.8 100 mm macro. I don't use extension tubes with it. Try just the macro with no extension tubes and see how it goes.
I, too, am a novice, but keep bumbling along using trial and error. I take A LOT of photos. Sometimes I think something has to be hammered into my head before I get the idea - like 'noise' with high ISO. For a while I just couldn't see it, but lower ISO settings - below 400 - make a much clearer image.
The attached pic has an ISO of 200. Note the tiny fly sitting on the tip of the damselfly's abdomen.

Thanks Notnobuddha,
Yes, the photo was centered. I had a cropped one that was a bit more aesthetically pleasing. Here's the cropped version. Another problem with it is that it was taken with a high ISO, giving too much noise.
I'm using a Canon 40D with macro lens.

Hello. I'm new to this forum and would love to learn more about nature photography, especially smaller creatures like insects and spiders. I look forward to learning more from each of you.
