100% crop of a hoverfly, taking using my sigma 105 f/2.8 along with flash and diy flash diffuser. Forgot to say I also used the Raynox DCR 250 on the end of the Sigma 105.
I forgot to mention, this was a single image, no stacking.
nice lightning. Show your diffuser
I am so happy that this thread keeps being updated!
It collects so many wonderful and inspiring macro shots!
I’ll try to contribute myself again very soon…
Ah nice… looks a bit big. Doesn’t it scare bugs away ? i already got the problem even without something hanging over them. I also like my diffuser foldable for easier packaging in my backpack
The results are good though
Yes, I did find my diffuser a bit awkward, especially if there were bugs in amongst trees / bushes where branches got in the way! I would be interested in seeing your diffuser set up if you could @andabata
My very first extremely lucky shot, Canon 55-250mm with close-up lens (possibly a Canon 250D)(also a 100% crop):
Allow me to contribute a few more images.
Probably my favourite subject to photograph, besides pretty girls, is the jumping spider. Here we see several shots of two different females, so I guess it’s still pretty girls.
First one was a lucky shot while experimenting with retro adapters, the second one was one focus hit next to 15 missed ones:
Haha, those weevils are funny. Lovely shot!
Ouch! I’ve been bugged!?!?!
Setup: Model = Dianthus. Zuiko 50mm/3.5 + 2x macro focusing teleconverter + adapter olympus->eos + adapter eos → fx + X-T3.
Wooooooooaaaaahhh!
I also love shooting those spiders! It’s amazing how they follow the camera with their eyes and head, as if they were curious…
Nice catch!!!
This is a brilliant (if slightly terrifying) thread!
We get a lot of crab spiders in the garden here:
