1st one has great lighting and a 1st for back lighting an insect that I have seen.

Nice clarity, colours and dof coverage. Very good.

Looks like you have taken to the new setup like a duck to water.

 

[mattd85]

Thanks everyone, it's certainly a learning curve!

Really like the second one Matt the back lighting makes it stand out well
my friend shoots with the Mpe and full frame camera he prefers full frame as you can get larger subjects in frame

Its about time you showed us some pictures with your new set-up. I really like the first one.

Couple of good shots Matt, with plenty of detail. I like the backlighting on #1 very much.

Anyone know the ID on these @TimmyG @Tintin124 @Logical Fallacy

 

[Logical Fallacy]

Definitely Dicyrtomina saundersi. Biggest giveaway is the 'TV antenna' patterning on the rear (solid blob in D.ornata). Also the transition from dark to pale on the antenna is very distinct between the second and third antenna (more gradual fading of colours on D.ornata.

Good to see you're having more fun with the MP-E than I initially did. It terrified me for ages, and I'm still getting used to it.
