Awesome Cicada Image!

Here is my shield bug (Only bug I can find with this weather):

 

[Big Bully]

That there is a creepy looking bug!

Heres my first ever Tehnical Assignment.
A few pics i took today that I am actually sort of proud of, although they all could use some work

My favorite

Semi Decent, could have pulled it off better but it started getting dark.

Used my 18-55mm Kit lens with reverse ring. The DOF is so thin this way its odd. But it sure is cool zooming way in on ordinary things.

I love that cicada shot!

 

[One Sister]

Thanks. I really wanted to know what photogs thought as the peeps in my life just say "Ewwwwww".

On this one you can see the night through its unfurled wings...I kinda liked it...but that's just me, I respect the crawlies.

Well I think it's excellent work! Good lighting and great DOF. Keep it up!

Man great color and DOF on the bugs, but they sure are gross. I kinda dislike bugs to begin with but that close is just all the weirder

I played with the reversed lens once again for this assignment, and also just because it is such fun!

Can anyone guess what it was I took out to take this macro photo?

These should be fairly obvious (the nearest I could grab on my desk):

The insects round here have not woken up as yet, there are none...

 

[One Sister]

Thanks for the encouragement TC. I've seen your macro work on your web site: AWESOME. I am humbled...

Since this is a Technical Assignment, does a reverse ring adapter count to or you want us to use a real dedicated macro lens?

Is there anything other than this adapter one needs to get started?

[LaFoto]

I don't even have an adapter

All I ever do is turn the lens around and hold it to the "hole in the camera", that's all I do. :shock: ale: if my photos now don't COUNT!

Mine isn't as uber macro as the rest of yours but here goes:
