Some macro insects taken with the Nikon D 3100

I took these extreme macro images in my garden using a Nikon D3100, Nikor 50mm F1.8 A lens on a set of extension tubes.

 The World of macro photography and especially insect photography is for me very exciting, when you can take a detail that is so small that it escapes our attention and then bring it into focus for all to see and appreciate. Every day is different and there are new experiences around every corner, bush and wall just waiting to be discovered.  The good news is that if you have a compact camera with a macro function, then you can start taking pictures of insects in your garden today.

I would love to see some of your macro insect pics, please post some in the comments section.
