Bruce, thanks! Mark Cassino has really inspired me to improve my bug macros. I'm learning to balance the flash better with ambient light for more "natural" look. It's a steep learning curve, but I honestly think that the instant feedback from the D is helping me improve.
consider: this was a "grab" shot while I was juggling an 8-year-old and a 20-month-old by myself at the zoo. Great kids, my daughters, but they get a little antsy (hah a pun!) when daddy is playing with his camera. So this was a very quick: "Oh, there's a cicada" attach bracket and flash and shoot. Hence the odd combination of lens and TC. Thanks again, your comments make me want to get out and shoot more bugs!
