Fantastic Macros. Did you use any kind of extension tubes? What is an MLU? Well done Bobby. Mabuhay.

Thanks guys. I did not employ extension tubes for those shots. MLU is "Mirror Lock-Up." The mirror is first locked in the up position before the shutter is triggered to minimize/eliminate mirror bounce.

The "oohhs" and the "aaahhss" may not be enough to describe these captures. Truly wonderful images and thanks for sharing the technique on Mirror Lockup.
