Okay bug stalkers, I was going through thousands of macro shots taken in the last 10 years and came upon a series of shots from 2014 of which this is one. This Japanese Beetle had snipped off the ...

Again hand held in flight, I like the extra distance and cropability the 50mp give, Using the Sigma 180mm 2.8 macro.

Thanks. Many on here are hyper-critical and not particularly polite. As I said, the 5Ds is more difficult to use hand held but with practice outstanding images can be captured, especially ...

Frankly, I'll chalk up your insulting tone to language difference. As I stated, I'm shooting handheld and of course it's going to be MUCH trickier to capture perfectly in focus ESPECIALLY in ...

Yes, I shoot almost exclusively hand held and the 5Ds is virtually the same weight as the 5D IV. Again, because of the high resolution it's trickier to use than the mk IV, especially shooting in ...

Just for the information of the group, I had previously asked if anyone used the 5Ds (or sr) for macro and what their experience was and got no relies. Because of the incredible deals available on ...

Had Canon made these compatible with my EF and L glass I might transition BUT under the circumstance I'll cross my finger and hope for a great 5D V.

Very cool shot, yes I have an in flight somewhere that shows that behavior.

Almost definitely a female based on size, also seems to me males have a kind of pinkish hue in the hairs directly under the front facing eye giving the appearance of a mustache.

Nice shots. Were they ALL alive?

Platycryptus undatus, the tan jumping spider, these are my favorite because these guys have EXTREMELY sharp vision (which is how they can even leap on flying prey) but, the way they track their ...

I appreciate the input. I shoot macro with the (now discontinued) Sigma 180 2.8 using both the 80D and the 5D Mk IV. I always shoot handheld usually between f8 & f11 at high shutter speed in ...

Is ANYBODY using either of these for macro? If so, how do you like them and is there any particular reason for one over the other. Thanks

And another fun in flight from the other day.....

Nice shot, they're not very cooperative.

It's been basically a cold cloudy rainy spring in RI and with everything going on my typical stalking places have been closed. Finally got out and got some decent shots. I've seen this behavior in ...
