No privacy these days.
Good Stuff.

Very good macros. I like them all.
But timethief is right: the paparazzi are EVERYWHERE these days, even in ... erm ... some insects' ... erm ... bedrooms.

this is just weird, that you found them like this... or are they paid models ?

That was too funny. :lmao:


But really, great shots. A little scarey, but great nonetheless.

Wow these are awesome in so many ways, and I hate bug shots.

Brilliant.

Thanks Mark.

Uses 2 flashes, canon 580exii and 430exii on a 7D with 100mm f2.8L macro lens. Here's a pic of the setup. A slight change now using a ttl cord connected to the 580exii and uses it as the wireless commander and the 430exii as slave instead of using the build-in flash as commander. This allows me to have High Speed Sync too. A bit heavy though.

Excellent images; do you have some pheromones to seduce them?

Those are from my underwater setup. Here is ULCS webby.

You can get other options for topside use, eg Wimberley
