Great pictures i cannot belive the detail im seeing today on macro shots in this forum

 

[emyllis]

Tell me what lenses you use; they are just amazing pics.

 

[photopainter]

thanks everyone for the great comments - to summarize, I use an MPE lens with MT24 Flash .. all hand held and taken in the wilds of my garden - these were taken later on at dusk when they seem to be a bit calmer... probably due to the cold??

Incredible, something to aspire too....I especially love the composition and lighting of #1

 

[Robbo]

great shot love fly eyes so much!

More awesome shots!!. I like no1 the best as i find these side profile shots show a great amount of detail that is often missed as the emphasis of insect macro's is mainly on the eyes.

I didn't realise the MP-E lens could be hand held. From what i've read about it it's hard work even on a tripod.

 

[DC2Z]

WOW all brilliant photos. The detail in them is incredible

 

[Dave.L]

Hats off to you with this set ...........
