I posted another thread up a while back with my very first ever shots in macro taken using a reverse ring and a 50mm lens...today on this fine Sunday I got out in the dirt to try it again...
The bug was maybe 1mm long (maybe)... I am guessing... small though..
The shots below were taken with an extension tube and a 50mm lens... This time I selected my lens more carefully...one of the other lenses I have only goes to f16..... the one I chose for this went to f22...so I tried that so it could give me a thicker DOF and be a little more forgiving...
The first shot is the full shot, not cropped (except one small edge that was distracting), just resized for the most part... the second shot is a crop of the first shot...
The bugs were tiny... smaller than a mosquito and were sitting on the petal of a small orange flower....
I did try to mojo with the brightness and colors and such but I still don't know what I am doing in that department. I just played with it until it looked good...
