    NL robber flies set

    Just a few snap shots.....subjects were not cooperative...very skittish, and not very approachable even with a 150 + 1.4x (210mm). The low low perch and the wind didn't help either, plus, my 200MYR (65 USD) tripod can't go very low.

    All from the same urban park, in one morning.

    a dull robber fly with tiny beetle prey

    Beautiful set, I'm just starting to experiment with Macro, and sets like these inspire the hell out of me. Thanks for sharing

    Same here. Waiting for my extension tubes to arrive from Adorama. Hopefully they'll be here Saturday at the latest.

    Your eye/brain is the difference between
    a photograph and a picture, not the camera.

    Thanks, PrestonS, Fishkon, Charlie, Joel, EchoingWhisper.

    Charlie - you mean the concave diffuser? These were all NL shots with no diffuser nor reflector used
