I do lots of macro photography, too. I am an amateur entomologist so I have lots of insect pictures.

This is a photo of some unknown material on a sidewalk:

This is a Cicada Killer.. it's a type of wasp that catches cicadas in mid-flight, paralyzes them, and takes them to their underground nest(the reason why its covered in dirt) where the larvae can feed on them when they hatch. They have one of the most severe stings of any insect(if not the most). My brother actually killed this one with a water hose WHILE it was carrying a cicada, crazy. I had to hold it with tweezers because it was still twitching(with the stinger coming out and ejecting venom, nonetheless):

And I have some great macro spider photos here: http://illformed.org/releases/123

Here's the strawberry pic I posted the link to earlier, hopefully the image host wont go down this time.

This was taken with a Nikon D100, Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro lens with a Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens reverse mounted on the front, which yields a 2X magnification.

Ok, anyone can post macro photos....

But it's time someone posted a [size=medium]SUPER[/size] macro photo!

This was my first shot with a new Sigma 180 macro lens, taken about 3 minutes after FedEx arrived with it.

The following are gigantic images all taken with my dad's Canon A80 (besides the S1/amp/cable pic).

If you haven't seen enough of my Clarinet already:

And my favorite mouthpiece and ligature:

Taken while at a huge Catholic church in Newark, NJ. This is just to show the detail found even on one square inch of one of the doors!!

I like this one of my S1 and amp, with my cable:

Horned tweeter on my Promedia 4.1:

Taken while in Maine, on Mount Batty:

Nearby we found a cool mud wasp guy:

I had to stand really still for a very long time to get these three:

This thread is 56k hell.

Hey hummingbirds! Not sure I'd call these macros, but here you go:

Edit: forget it, stupid image host is down again. Can anyone recommend a reliable image host for around $25 a year? (Other than pbase)

 

[mbriant]

Not sure how much it costs these days, but I've been using www.imageevent.com for a couple of years without a problem.
