Your macro shots are phenomenal!! Do you use a macro lens or is that just a prime? Great shots!

- I'm going to get all embarrassed now

it's the D-FA 50mm. It (or the camera) backfocuses slightly - focus is behind the confirmation point - and now I know that, I trust my own eyes more and take 3-4-5 shots.

From the top:

50 out of the car window
50 with flash bounced off the floor

24, tripod splayed over the passenger seat
50. one of 200+ shots
50 + flash
50 + flash
200, MANUAL! - they are too small for the AF, so manual is the only way to go.
200, AF, 1/200@f8

50 + flash for f22 IIRC
