maby it is the lens?
Jakes said:
dont get that kind of depth. With the 50 mm it's not such a
problem, but you don't get the magnification.

You can see a nice difference between the male and female pic. That lastone is made out of 2 pics. I did a bad job with the middle leg but liked to show some feet too.

Have just received a 50mm and a reversing ring, so I'm off to play
macro too... Just got to go buy some milk and pour it aeay first :-)
  1. 2 and #3 look like the same creature, but #3 has a bulge on his
(her?) head missing. Looks strange... Is this a sound organ of some
sort and he/she was calling in one and not the other?

Well to be honest... I don´t know anything about bugs. Can only shoot them. I was calling Ramon mena but I guess he is busy or maby left the forum. I 1st thought it were extra eyes but when I shot the other I didn´t had a clue. But maby you are right and are those things hearing devices?

cheers, Mark

excellent macro's from you.

I saw your post about your trip around your home country and thought, this isn't your field. Macro photography is YOUR thing.

Like the little grasshopper coming across a long leaf, the best.

I actually found a 28mm f/2.8 konica minolta lens used on B&H and got a little frustrated, since I found it AFTER I have ordered my monitor calibrator.
Oh well, its not my field anywho.

Keep doing macro's. Never time wasted when viewing your macro threads!

Kind Regards

The weather was calm the sun away and I was crawling on my hands
and knees looking for very small bugs. The tool was a D70 with a
Br-2a and a 28mm yashica reversed. I used the onboard flash with a
homemade diffuser for the light. (ramon or anyone can you help me
with some ID)

1st I thought it was dust or something but with 2:1 I saw this



Mayfly male?



Mayfly female?



Looked as if he was praying (yep to the east that is)



Finaly a good shot of this little critter. They always hide behind
grass.



Loved this little spider for the colormix.

Not yet... there are many that can shoot better pics then me. But I love to shoot and have the feeling that there is still progress soo maby one day....? Love to own some other lenses to explore other macro worlds. Like the 70-180 or 200mm. Also that new flash sytem looks great.
thanks you for your kind words. cheers, Mark

thanks! cheers, Mark

I just noticed you used the on board flash. Nice improvisation. I have been using the SB 600 on the wireless ittl setup. Maybe I should have did what you did and save myself $200.
