Superb as usual my friend!

thanks guys. I appreciate it. With a little practice anyone could get good shots.

Niiiceee!!!!

Cool beans.

What kind of PP do you do? I've been considering trying some macro stuff when it finally warms-up.

[TCimages]

the very basics. I resize and convert RAW to TIFF using DPP. After the conversion tweak the sharpness and brightness in PSP X2. I run a script for the frame and name.

I admire the macro work - I must keep trying and use a tripod to be able to stop down and get dof approaching yours. Gives me something to aim for.

[TCimages]

Thank you Fangman. I find a tripod almost unusable for insects. Some sit for a while, but most never do. If you use an external flash, you can do it. I rarely can take advantage of ambient light with my settings.

A trick that I sometimes do is turn my monopod upside down so I can easily grip the small end with my right hand and camera. This helps steady things and allows to you easily adjust height. A decent stick will work too.

I'm amazed how you can even see the mesh-like look to the eyes in that last shot.

That's a handy tip about using a stick or monopod to quickly steady the shot, thanks!

great set once again, the second one rocks

[Toni Marie]

I love that you got that drop of water on the first one, also love #3 the eyes are so cool. They are all awsome!!!
