I am going to say have a look at the nikon 60mm, this is a macro lens but I find it much better suited for "close up" photography due to the short working distance. The quality is very good and is not too expensive, I have the older 60mm AF-D and use it on a D300 and I am happy with it, not sure what the new 60mm AF-S one is like but I assume it is just as good if not better.

Probably more so a "close up" than true macro...

It is a vine snake, coolest snake I have ever seen. Super thin body/neck and a head that seemed too large large for the rest of it.

yeah, while those images are pretty neat looking I have a feeling that a lot of post work went into them including merging of different shots.

I am curious to see what other people are using for lighting setups, I have 2 flashes with triggers but really need to get a bracket for them (or something). Looking for suggestions or what other people are using for lighting setups.

I am in the process of building my own version of this: http://www.tripodhead.com/products/flash-bracket-macro-brackets.cfm for much cheaper. Hoping to have at prototype done this weekend, assuming it works out I will write something up in case anyone else is interested.
