I admit, I love natural light & free space...

As a general rule, I'm just lazy... But every now and then I find it's good to pull out a tripod and shot some macro with natural light. I usually do it when I get bored, and break away from using a flash and hand holding. Most times I don't get as clear a shot, but I love the challenge. Anyone else have shots to share doing it? I'd love to see them.

Another nice pic. Do you often use a diffuser for the light or to block the wind?

Hi Matthew,
Chuckle... as I stated, I'm too lazy to use a tripod most times, so don't bother with extras. Even though I know it would be better, I find it easier to chase bugs using a flash (with diffuser). Short flash duration stops movement, and still allows light backgrounds if metered for them. But if you can go the full mile, it's certainly worth it. ;)
