Hi ..
New in this forum and also new to Macro photography. Just tried to shoot these 2 insects found in my house using Vivitar F2.8/55mm macro lens; F11 | 1/180.

I know it is not good but appreciate much your comment and advice for improvement.


Thank you.

It's not bad, although there seems to be something odd about the eyes. Did you use a tripod here? The only real 'improvement' I can suggest is to try and capture subjects like this in their natural envorioment if possible. It makes for a much stronger image.

[FONT=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]Hi Ron; thank you for your quick response.

It was a handheld shot w/ a ring flash and taken in the evening under room light condition.

Yes, I should go out & take some shots from the nature.

btw: I don't have an extension tube, by just using a F2.8/55mm 1:1 macro lens; possibly, to get good closeup shot @ the insect eyes?

Thanks.
