Springtail (8)

G.K.Jnr. · 9 Oct 2015

Not really had much time of late what with Cotton Fields to harvest and of course pro work to cover. But hoping to get back into a bit of Macro/Close up work again time permitting.

Fuji X-T1, Schneider 120mm Makro Symmar Lens, Self Made Focusing Tubes & Lens Panel, 200-ISO, 1/180th @ F5.6, Modified RF. Plus a bit of forward tilt to improve DOF.

If you can get a close up of the eyes of these barkfly its well worth it

Nice shot not sure the purple tones compliment the barkfly but the detail is very good

Thanks for that Bryn, Appreciated.

I wasn't sure of what it was so I labelled it as a "Springtail" I honestly didn't know it was a "Barkfly".

No choice of the background colour as it was just scratchin' about on top of one of our bins.

Nice shot George
Well our bin is a great place to find sprintails and barkflies but at least ours are brown and black.

Nice one George - I've seen virtually no barkflys this year...

Hope things will get better for you soon and do more photography. Unfortunately, bugs time is about over. As I remember from last year, start from Nov, bugs will be more or less gone
