Some dam good shots there(y)

Watch out for the pixel police though, max 800 pixels on the longest side :rules::geek:


And welcome by the way, superb start:D
 
F.box it means photo-art, nice set again Scott, this forum should start to rock now ;)
 
That's amazing. What great shots and detail.
 
That is one excellent set of shots. The MPE-65 can certainly deliver, but it's a hard beast to get used to.

Incidentally, which glue did you use to stop the beastie flying away?
 
Blimey thats close (y)
BTW when this thread becomes old
does it mean it will be full of old pharts :shrug: :D
 
great shots, how did you manage to keep it still for that long though????

Wow.... I'm genuinely amazed. Absolutely *superb* shots, thanks a million for sharing :)
 
Outstading shots, all of them (y)

Please do share with us your secret! How did you get so close, how did you get the eye in such details?
 
Those are ace. I really love the detail in the eyes. Amazing to see and so clear.
 
Fantastic set there mate, look forward to seeing what you come up with next! (y)
 
Absolutely superb shots. Just how close to the bee is the front of the lens to get this sort of photo? And how much practice to get this good?
