Nature Bugs

Bugs · 01:19 PM

Here's a couple more bug shots, unfortunately no DIF keepers this time.

I've finally found a decently priced set of extension tubes on ebay, which are on their way! Hopefully I'll get them before winter starts. I'm especially excited to stack them on with my current DIY macro setup, and get to 2:1 and beyond

(The fly was taken with my DIY macro tubes, at about 1.8:1. I also have a monopod coming, which will hopefully help too, as hand holding is a real PITA with the narrow DOF)

Excellent shots. Well done.

Thanks for the replies guys, I thought it was pretty cool seeing the dragonfly eating too. He was just hanging out on that one piece of grass, and he'd fly up in the air, grab a bug, and chow down on it back on his piece of grass.
