The spider is very good but the most impressive is the mosquito photo on the link. Very good focusing. You can see the "hair" on the mosquito's feet. Very impressive. It was manual focus or just a simple AF with good light ?

It was sucking and enjoying my blood from my left hand while I tried to focus with my right hand LOL.

The shot was taken with manual focus locked at infinity with 2 Nikon 4T close up filters at 10x zoom.

Thanks

Great shots. That's the oddest looking spider I've ever seen. My favorite is the first one where you are looking into its eyes (am I correct in counting 4?)

Width of picture one is 17mm. So the width of spider is about 10 cm.

All were taken in Singapore. The spider is one of the first I have seen here also.

Henry Thorsen

Yes, I did. I am using Achiever TZ250 with diffuser and bounce card as the available light is dim. f-8, iso = 50 , shutter = 1/125 sec

fujo · Aug 7, 2003

Very nice -- I want to take some now.

Peter Ferguson · Aug 7, 2003

I can see how much difference in quality there is using that close-up lens/flash combination. More money to spend!

Great shots keep 'em comin'

Hi Guan!! your pictures are beautiful. I was searching about the close up filter you used, and excuse me about my question (I´m new), BH says its to be used only in a focal length of 80/200. So it would mean its not possible (or its not good) to be used in, for example, 300mm, but you took this pictures in 10 X. So, where is my mistake?
And do you need an adapter?
Thank you

That is the recommended focal length and it is still possible and shown to yield acceptable macro at 380mm.

U could always zoom to 200 mm with C750 if u prefer to be within the recommended focal lenght.

As for adaptor, I am using Olympus 45.6 to 52mm.
