After getting out of work and heading home down the usual dark alleyway I come across a tiny shadow that I though it might be a tortoise (they are not native here) but instead I found this little fellow:
I decided exhaustion and rain be damned and put the phone camera's flashlight on to illuminate this little new friend.
I very rarely find and see frogs in my area (not sure why) and I always get excited when I do. I was starting to scare him off and I backed off after a few shots and started looking around for more.
And holy moly there were more ... other things. It's been raining most of the day and the little creatures came out, slugs and frogs, snails and slimes, etc. It's one very active evening out there.
Even the worms were crawling everywhere. Though they get ultra sensitive to light if I get the flash to close, they recoils extremely fast like in this picture and return to the hole they came out from.
Getting close was quite the challenge, my hands are not particularly stable at this time of the day. I can't wait to get the Godox V1 flash on Monday, though I don't have the budget for any add-on light modifiers (I would love for the dome version) this month.
The little snail was very attached to whatever that little string above them was, making for a very interesting image hanging like Indiana Jones off a rope in a tomb. (Tatiana ta ta na)
Or Mission Impossible itself, dangling by a thread and doing a balancing act with the eyeballs
Looks stranger still from above. Makes me wonder if I should try and get out of the house tomorrow morning early and see what macro images I can try to get.
Two slugs feasting on some poor kid's sandwiche bread, I tried to shoot at f 5.6 for mor DoF so the bottom slug doesn't get lost completely in the background blur at f 2.8
Sorry I ruined their romantic dinner for two. It was so dark that I had to crawl with the phone to find subjects in the dark. Wether I am pointing the camera to the ground or to the sky (astrophotography) I still manage to look creepy and weird to other people.
There were a looot of worms and not the "Carrying a Bazooka" kind, though that would have been quite fun (Worms World Party).
This is as close as I can get. I'm having so much fun doing macro.

A quick test of my macro setup:
Last night my little princess brought me her squeaky ball from out in the garden and it had this little fellow on it, so I put him in the safety of an old compact DVR cassette for the night. He rolled around in it leaving a lot of tiny nuggets in there, should have gave him some toilet paper.
I let him roll around for a few minutes before letting him go back home to the garden. I am surprised how well the IQ comes out with Tamron 70-180mm f 2.8 and Raynox DCR-150.
Cropping even deeper and it still looks great. The DoF is so thin the front of the face is out of focus at f 11 (need to use f 16). I do apologize to the little bugger for the bad hair day I gave him.
Without cropping there is mechanical vignetting at 180mm with the Raynox DCR-150. He started chewing or trying to chew on the plastic cassette so I took him out in the garden and put him on a large leaf. I had to play a bit with the exposure settings and the power of the flash, mostly 1/8th and 1/4th. I have tried the HSS but it didn't go well, out of a short burst I got 1 to 3 exposed, and the rest pitch black, need to check how to deal with that.
Found this little buddy in the garden and was happy to smile for the camera, the DoF wasn't ideal and should have stopped down a bit more. But I am very happy with the flash diffuser.
And I have no shortage of little spiders around my house. The wind was making it very difficult to get a shot but I still got some, again the DoF wasn't good enough to get more in focus. I can't wait to try it out more and I want to see how well it works at the 28mm .

I noticed these little red spots and realized they are small tunnels, I am not sure what made them or why they are there.

I hear tell that HSS actually attempts to fire the flash multiple times very quickly (per shot). Once I heard that, I went back to either OG "manual" or TTL and everything works fine!
