I don't get enough opportunities to do any in situ macros so when I find an interesting critter I borrow my 4 year old's bug catcher and take a few shots later in my "macro studio".

All with the Pentax F 100mm 2.8 macro, Metz 58 flash off camera in a Lastolite light tent.

Doubling up on the F series lenses, this one is a F 50 1.7 reversed onto a F100 macro

It's nothing elaborate just one of these http://www.lastolite.com/ephotomaker.php with the flash off camera and bounced of the side/top.
