On The Emerald Road
Lens: Panagor 90mm Camera: Pentax K-x Photo Location: Chica, Panamá ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F11

From the no longer build department

Shot with my Pentax K-x and a Panagor 90mm 2.8 Macro bought from a fellow member in the marketplace. Lighting provided by a Metz-48, also bought from the marketplace. The flash is handheld off-camera with a small softbox (Wescott) bought from Adorama.

This is the best attempt at capturing this snail during a photowalk with my photo club. The actual location is the Campana Natural Park in Panamá. Taking pictures with my current setup can be a bit frustrating, but when I get results like this one it's worth the effort.

Pentax is no longer represented in my country, so I depend entirely on online stores like Adorama and the PentaxForums marketplace for equipment.

Panagor 90 macro is a great lens. That image is great. Diffuse further on the lighting and you have a perfect shot.

Thank you for the advice marcusyoung. When you write "diffuse further", you mean to make it softer, right?
