BRILLIANT!!! D50 Macros that cost ZERO! (7)

Thanks to a great tip by Arne Resak on this forum, I went out and attempted to reproduce his efforts

Setup:
D50, Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6, Tripod
Reversed lens, and as the lens element size/casing is a snug fit, I fit it

directly onto the camera body, simply attached with a huge rubber band to the body - LOL

Camera set to M for metering (there isn't any), S priority, 1/200s to 1/500s, onbard flash adjusted for power outputs.
I have zoom capabilities too - neat!!!

Best reproduction reached at about 28mm, fair working distance at 50mm (about 6 inches or so)

PP in NX
Well, here they are, what y'all think eh?

PRANCER:

PEEK-a-BOO:

LADY on the LOOSE!:

ON TOP of the WORLD:

FLOWER FORAGER:

look at the antennae on his head. The size you see there is the size of the whole bug in real life! WOW!

GRASS in GLASS:

Have this pet peeve thing to try and get a good bubble, getting closer now, thanks Arne :))

BUSY WORKER:

Not the best shot, just wanted to show size here.
