[photopainter]

A collection from a nice couple of days, the bombylius major is so hard to tog, they're constantly on the move.....

Very very nice set

Love them all - however: No 1 is the better image for me

Amazing,

Are they done with a single shot - especially something at small as the weevil, or did you use something like focus stacking?

<edit>
Can you give me an idea of what body and lens you used for this please?

That Bee-fly is a cracker - best I've seen of the species.

The spider pic is particularly fantastic!

Wow, great set. All are fantastic, but the spider stands out the most for me

Thanks, all for looking and comments - for Steve - No Focus stacking just 1 shot using mpe 65mm on a canon 5d2 body

Thanks for the reply....

But... I'm a bit new here - I'm guessing the 65mm is becuase you used a 65mm macro lens - but what does the MPE mean?


Thanks in advance

I love the ladybird, just makes such a small insect look so dominant, great angle!
