Robber flies with prey

[BekahAura]

At what mm were you shooting? I took a photo of a spider and a fly at f/16 1/50 and ISO 1600 at 60mm and although it may have been a bit deeper from foreground to background, it just seems like I got barely any dof, not like you did in these. I was pretty close because it was a tiny spider... does that have anything to do with it?

Thanks for the info!

Amazing pictures! What kind of macro lens do you use?

Thanks kearypik. All with MP-E65 and MT-24EX and concave diffuser:

Mostly shot between 1x to 1.5x for the full body shot.

Wow these shots are just fantastic! How far away were you from the fly?

Thanks Salvage. Depends on the magnification. These were shot between @1.5x to 3X....the working distance of the MPE65 at 1x is 4" (front of lens to subject), at 2X - 2.5" and at 3x - 2".
