I am recently getting into macro photography with my purchasing of a Canon 7D and Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM. I am taking photos of my bred isopods and springtails, along with other small invertebrates I find from the wild. My typical images are taken at 1/250, f/2.8-f/4.0, 640 ISO, -1 2/3 Flash Exposure Comp., and Manual Mode and Manual Focus with Image Stabilizer and it seems to work well paired with camera flash and an overhead snake lamp. Any tips of how I could improve my setup to get the maximum magnification of the subject?
I also have a few 67mm diopters but they aren't that useful, so I am wondering what I could do to improve or magnify the images I take of invertebrates. I wish to take decent images of springtails and mites if possible with my current lens, maybe an extension tube kit?
Here are a few 'good' images of progressively smaller arthropods (all images are unedited to show how they came out):
Probably Bark Beetle
Porcellio Scaber
Small Springtail
Probably Hypoaspis Miles mite
