large bugshroom one




large bugshroom two


can't decide which one is better. in general i prefer first one, but in the other the bug is on yellow background, which is better, however the view from above isn't best perspective here.

Both are really nice! Do you have any idea why it would have chosen to perch on the mushroom, except for posing for you?
Best.

A very cool shot. The definition is very sharp and the clover provides the scale. Well done.

Maybe cutting would be more effective, with less background

!thank you. i was trying crop more, but didn't like result because of quality loss. the posted ones already are a bit more than 50% crop (i still don't have macro lens..)

If you want a macro result with this lens then
other accessories should be used. The picture is still great for the lens ok.

yes, extension tubes but qualitywise i would prefer new glass. generally i wasn't into macro shooting, but after encountering few possibilities including the one above, i'm thinking about SMC Pentax-FA 100mm F2.8 Macro, but it must wait some time, finacially now isn't best time.

I can recommend Pentax 100 f4 macro it's cheaper. Macro photo is usually manually
and sharp. I like.
