I haven't posted on this thread before but everybody seems so positive here and have great advice so I'll give it a try.
I have a question though, how do people take such good macro photos? there are some amazing ones just recently by regulator75 and ah123 just to name a few. What lenses do you usually use and what shutter speed and f stop are those photos taken at. I always have problems good focus and good depth of field.

My first attempt at very long night exposures

Bees in the rain... I like this picture but it would have been better with so more depth
