After getting jealous from seeing the results of skill, patience, and stacking macro photos in the news, I was pleased to find today's crop of photos using a Canon R6 + RF 100mm macro lens can still do a satisfying photo.

I do most of my macro photography with a Nikon d3300 and an old manual lens, a 55/f3.5 Micro-Nikkor P Auto from 1972.
