That soldier beetle ain't bad at all! Both of them seem to be a bit overexposed - maybe try lowering the EV next time.

Johnny,

What kit were you using for this...camera, lens, tubes, flash etc....

[Johnny]

300D and a sigma 150 mm....not got a flash unit yet, but will do soon when i find out what im doing....lol..

[Bev]

A great start but agree with Ewan slightly overexposed, but that is easily rectified! look forward to seeing more.

They do look a little overexposed. If you took the shots in RAW then you could use a little negative exposure compensation to try and regain those lost high-lights.

If not, a smaller aperture will give you both better depth field and a faster shutter speed, all vital in macro-tography!
