hahahaha that first one made me laugh.

great macros of course. I think #2 is the real winner, but what is that yellow blob around his mouth

sweet pictures... The first one made me laugh (as you probably expected it too).

Cracking shots yet again...well done!

Very good shots as usual

What setup do you have?

MarcusM · Jun 23, 2008

Holy crap, these are amazing shots!!!

I'm having a hard time picking my favorite - although I think it's #1. That shot is perfect and I like how he's looking right at you.

I really like macro and knew I wanted to get a macro lens, your shots only make me want it so much sooner!

Im not really sure what the blob is, think its a piece on the plant. Its not in his mouth, because thats behind the blob. Thanks for the comment.

Ummm, that first one is a butt shot, isn't it? Tooo funny!

I especially like the second shot, showing the looooooong antennae. The third shot is neat too, though, as it shows the structures at its mouth.

skier66 · Jun 24, 2008

Wow.. more awesome shots!

niforpix · Jun 24, 2008

Nice. You think you could get the same results using just the flash (without the Lumiquest softbox)?

Stranger · Jun 24, 2008

I hope Daan doesnt mind me jumping in but an on camera flash wont work nearly as well. IUf you mean a speedlight, you can make a DIY diffuser that will work about almost as well. I ported out a lotion bottle for mine, and it works fine.

@ Daan, i see, i noticed the blob was behind on my 2nd look through the thread

yes it is a butt shot. Ive seen you do it a couple of times, thought i would give it a shot

Thanks for the reply.

You probably can have some toleratable shots, but the shadows will be very harsh. You can go with the normal diffuser, works pretty good too. The on-board flash.......i dunno, but it wont be very good i think.

Yeah, there are alot of DIY diffusers on the net. Some will work, some wont. I think it pretty much has to do with how you feel about your pics. In the beginning i used a diffuser and was happy, then came the Lumiquest and never (well almost never) used something different. Now, if i would buy a ringflash i would probably be even happier....but that one isnt coming anytime soon and the Lumiquest works perfect.
