Nice! You might want to pick up a 60mm micro, they're very affordable and fun to play with.

I will when I have the cash.
Blew it all on the camera and various invertebrates....

definitely get yourself a sb600. Check out a dvr set called strobist lighting seminar.

Will definitely check that out.
The camera's built in flash doesn't do much good.

LOL thanks.
The tarantula looks really blue because I had a blue fish tank light over the enclosure.

You take good photos already, with better lens I'm sure you can catch better. Cool centipede.

Thank you, though these in my opinion are mediocre at best.
Am saving up for a better lens now!
