Here's some very nice herb I got macros of:
Was pushed up against a 1000w cooltube, room was at 70F, steady, 24/7.
Hydroponically grown.
Cannon mpe, with macro-twinflash, manual lens, no remote.
I believe with remote and some tweaking, I could be taking some photos that would finally impress me.
Edit: And yes. At this point, the herb was ready for the chop. Chlorophyll was heavily leeched, causing such a white color.

Even with extreme leaching the calyx's usually remain green.
Since it was "pushed up" against a 1000W cool tube i'm going with light beaching (probably not) but more with the fact that cholorphyll isn't produced at high temps.

Grower had his plants all against the tube(s) for at least a month+.
It's his own method. /shrug

I went outside today to see who would be a willing subject I found this guy/girl? If you look at it's eyes you can see my lens in its eyes. Cool stuff.

I have a question again lol. I have bought AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED and I was wondering if I should have bought the 105mm version the only difference is 60 to 105mm. I did not get a chance to demo the 105mm version I only had the opportunity to try the 60mm and was very impressed. I don't think I need both of these lens in my bag would you agree? I also have this lens it came with the D90 55-200 mm f/4-5.6 G ED AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor Lens. Also why are the Teleconverters so expensive there is not much to them. Seems kind of over priced for what you get. The Nikon TC-14E II retails for 480$
Im looking now for a super telephoto or high power zoom is there a major differance between the 2. My eyes are all blurry from reading so much about this stuff but it's all good Keeps my mind off my other things.

Very nice Franco if you took those could you give some specs on the Equipment used.

Some amazing crisp looking shots people, im looking at gettin a Nikon Slr in the very near future !!
I did not shoot them myself, they were shot by Joop Dumay (specialized in resin-macro) exclusively for green House Seed Co in 2005, using 15 of our strains, a 10megapixel digital Canon and a 1200x microscope. The blue in the background is a special pigment applied under the petra-dish used to lay the tiny piece of bud to shoot.

well ive been looking at your thread here and its super long so i thought just asking a ? would be easier ok for cameras i got an old school 35 mm canon ae-1 its a great camera had it totally gone through had some parts replaced such as light seal and what not got the shutter speed all reset n what not its a solid camera old yes but solid anyways what kinda lense would i need to take these macro pics with this camera or is this something im going to need a digital camera for i got a digital camera atm just not a real nice one havent had the money to buy a real nice one yet but am still interested in this macro photography if i need to wait till i get a good digital camera body i geuss thats what im going to have to do
Yes you would need to convert your film to digital. You can take Macro images with a 35mm film camera them have them developed but if you want to post images or keep digital albums you will need a Digi cam.
