I have chosen a different path, since I have decided to work with my dog on SAR, rather than go all in on photography, but that doesn't mean I will stop photographing whenever I get a chance at something exciting. This spring I hope to get my hands on a better macro lense, and if that happens, I will come strongly into the game again.
For those curious to what lense I drool over, this is the beauty, a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. The good thing about the lense is, it's a L-series which alows for more knocking about by the climate. Also it has image stabilisation (IS), so that you may get better away with the hand held shots- which occur all the time when you want to catch bugs and beetles, who aren't as polite as to wait around while you fumble with rigging your tripod.
Of course, some times you can find the bugs in your home, or even bring them home with you, and then make for some scary scene.
I have to admit, when I remember to squint into the macro world - it truely is one of my favourite areas of photograpy!
