The Vivitar Series 1 is the hairiest shootin' lens in my bag...

I got a tad hot with the flash on the punk rock spider, but he was in the shadow of some rose leaves and as soon as the flash went off he jumped right at the lens... Tough spider!

Wow, that is a liitle closer than I would like to be. Great work.

You have to get close to see the beauty in the beasts...

**xs400** · 05-27-2008, 08:44 PM

Nice shots.

How the heck did you get close enough to get that shot of the fly? Flies don't usually sit around waiting for me.

Nels · 05-27-2008, 08:52 PM

Exceptional macro/close up shots. Keep it up. Maybe I will have some to share soon.

Damn Brit · 05-27-2008, 09:03 PM

Amazing Gus. I like the exposures on both of them. I think they have a kind of Sci Fi Movie Still look about them.

I don't know what it is about me, but there always seem to be a lot of flies buzzing around me.... They really seem to like me...

Hey Gary, thanks for the idea. It would be kind of cool to really push the colors and saturation on some bug shots to get a Sci-Fi / Comic Book look to them...

Gus...you are the Bug Master...amazing that you can get so close....nice shots....

reeftool · 05-28-2008, 10:52 AM

Nice shots, especially the fly. They look much better in pictures than on my lunch.

Is that the 90 or the 105? I've got the latter on the way and I can't wait. Speaking of hairy... these critters sure are!

that spider sent shivers down my spine. Awesome work!

**Ash** · 05-28-2008, 02:40 PM
