This bird was very close. I actually changed from the DA*200 to the 70 for bit more context. That always preserves more detail than backing up.

With the 200 sometimes it was just too tight to get the whole birds in the frame.

Great portrait! Super detail.

Been awhile since I've posted anything in this thread. These were taken with a Canon 100mm F2.8 macro lens.

My maiden photographic posting. Thought I'd do something different to insects and flowers ....
The woodscrews are Pentax K3ii with an SMC Pentax-M f4 100mm macro
The drop of resin was the K3ii with a Schneider-Kreuznach 105mm Radionar on a custom mount.

You're off to a good start. I cannot remember the first images I posted on this forum - - hopefully no one else does either.

My favourite is the second one. The contrast in lighting temperature is striking. You are off to a great start. I'm looking forward to more!

I would not like that first fellow to "sit down" on me. S/he looks vicious. Nice shooting.
