The lighting is excellent on these, especially the last one. How did you light it?

Awesome light, clarity, colour and composition! Well done. Were these hand held?

Cheers all thanks for the comments, actually I'm not to happy with the lighting on the first three, it's a little too harsh for my liking. It was achieved with a 20 year old vivitar 283, using off camera cord. The last was natural lighting, but would have liked a little more dof. I might buy a second vivitar and set them up on small tripods, with some sort of home made soft box just for my macros.
