    Last one is amazing, I really need to get a better lens. Anyone got any good ideas for a lens that will give me much results for about £100?

    You'd really want to get a dedicated Macro lens. Something like the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX would allow you to get 'life like' photos. Generally its know as being one of Sigma's best lenses. It retails for about £250ish i think.

    http://www.pbase.com/pippenho/image/25657569 < kinda of thing Dedicated marco lenses can do.

    Others to look at inc Tamron SP AF90MM F/2.8 Di Macro 1:1, Nikon AF-S VR 105mm Lens f/2.8G IF-ED.

    Hope that helps,

    Nice photos btw, have you tried cropping them perhaps? so its more focused on the insect.

    nice, pretty good. I use the same spec lens, but a nikon one for shooting motorsport and all alsorts. Its pretty good using a telephoto lens for photographing flowers and stuff

    I would like to get the sigma marco at somepoint, but its all money
