Welcome back after a long time:) This macro season I decided to learn some new techniques. One of them was shooting in natural light using many blendes (reflectors) and second one wast taking shots in a great magnification. This are the effects:)

Wow, thanks a lot for Your opinions:) I'm very happy You like my shots:)
dannyb quite interesting suggestion:)
My main goal for this season is taking pictures in natural light. This task ain't no easy, but I'm still learning, and here's some samples from yesterday:)
Polyommatus icarus 1.
icarus 2.
Icarus 3.
Icarus 4.
Icarus 5.
For this pictures I used the Tamron 90/2.8, and one blende made of a white paper:)
Another technique I use is combining natural light with a fill flash. Usually I use Sigma 70-300 APO attached to 3 extension tubes (for lowering the focusing distance) and Metz 48AF-1 at 1/8-1/16 flash power with a diffuser. Result is shown below:)
Icarus 6.

There is still winter in my country, so there is no way to take some new macro pictures. Thats why I'm looking for new subjects to my photos. Today I bought 5 balloons, filled them up with water, and after 4 failed photos I took this one :)

The quest for the max magnification ratio:D
I used old russian M42 bellows, old russian 2x M42 teleconverter, and reversed Pentacon 30/3.5. Magnification is simply enormous, but I guess it's hard to take photos in a meadow for example:/
Test photo 1 - dead fly - full frame, no crop at all

AF doesn't work with Tamron 90/2.8 or any other lens I have.
I got no SDM lens, so I can't say if AF works with it :(
I can take large picture of the tubes, so You can check out contacts on them:)

It's no so simple to answer Your question. Taking pictures of insects in flight is not that kind of photography You do everyday with great results.
I spent a lot of time learning dragonflies habits. They fly on the specific territories stopping from time to time. A key to success is to find out where they fly most often, and where they stand still.
Autofocus is useless, the only way to take a good, sharp picture is to use manual focus. I use the extension tubes to get closer to a dragonfly (lower focusing distance, but the lens can't focus to infinity)
Summing up there is no such a tutorial that can be used in every situation. Everything depends on a observation and the patience:) But it's worth to try...
