Macro shots - Insects with the 7D

I went for a wander at lunch time today with my 7D, Canon 100mm f2.8 macro and 430EX.  Most of the shots were taken with the flash mounted on the camera, but a few were with the 7D acting as flash master and the 430EX in slave mode, hand held in various positions.  I'm pretty pleased with the results - I don't have a lot of time tonight so I'll just put a dump of the pictures (all were Manual mode, 1/125s, various apertures, but most at f/11, with some down as low as f/2.8):




I've never managed to get a decent picture of an ant before:


The 7D allows so much cropping with 18MP:











These flowers were absolutely tiny - you can get an idea of the scale from the size of the hairs under the petals.  I would guess no more than 3 or 4mm across:




I like the pattern on this leaf - no idea what caused it:



A new shoot in spring
