That's great, I totally didn't notice the spider at first! "That fly is way out of focus... wait are those eyes? Ah, it's spider peeking over something... Ooooh!"

Fly butts. That spider vs fly one is fantastic ... showdown, and you can bet who is going to lose.

Question for you macro guys, I recently was given my grandfathers old AI lens and his extension rings. the extensions are PK-11 and PK-12's marked with 8 and 14 respectively, is the 8 and 14 what the change in the focal length is (i.e. 35-(8+14)) or something else?

My Tokina 90mm f/2.5 Macro came back from the repair shop today and I took it to the closest state park for a test drive. The weather's been persistently grey and I don't have any field lighting gear yet, but I'm really liking the look of this lens so far.

Here, have a ladybug. (it was windy as gently caress, this bug would NOT stay still, and the sun was almost gone so i had to shoot at a crazy high ISO) I'm surprised I was able to get this photo at all.  ladybug by francography, on Flickr

Picked up a $3 chinese 49mm NEX reverse ring on eBay for my trusty .. wait I mean dusty .. Helios-44. Kind of want to get into some Macro since I'm stuck in the hell that is suburbia and can't find anything regular-sized that's worth shooting. I should probably invest in some kind of light source now, huh.

What kind of flash are you going to use? A cobra on top of a NEX sounds pretty awkward.

I don't like the idea of any camera on this flimsy mount. I'll probably get a DealExtreme radio popper and a manual off-camera flash.

Well, doesn't that defeat the purpose of owning a NEX? What about the official flash? Nice and small (and expensive), at modest magnifications - say 1:1 or less - and with a half-decent diffuser it should work well enough. e: Abugadu posted:My friend recently opened his website where he does macro photo/video of nudibranchs and other tiny marine life from the Philippines and Guam, worth a look I promise This is very cool, thanks for sharing.

 I literally forgot I owned that haha. I'll have to try diffusing it first.I still kind of want an off camera setup but that's a discussion for another thread

Took these a while back... I wish I had taken 100 more shots of this moth while I had the chance. It was only a few hours old when i took these, the wings hadn't hardened yet so it was basically captive. I took this shot at about 4pm...by 7pm it flew away. I would have focused more on the face instead of the elbow. That's what i get for handholding.

There's been a bug explosion around my yard lately so I've finally got some decent subjects. Here's a couple recent shots: Brown Prionid Beetle (Orthosoma brunneum)  Silver-spotted Skipper (Epargyreus clarus)  Female Eastern Carpenter Bee - (Xylocopa virginica)

I've been playing around with my macro extension tubes and a 50 f/1.8. I used all 49mm of my tubes to get some close up shots of this cracked DVD. One shot is ambient exposure, the second is an off-camera flash fired through the disc itself to make the cracks glow.  DVD Macro 1 by blurrymystr, on Flickr  DVD Macro 2 by blurrymystr, on Flickr  DVD Macro 3 by blurrymystr, on Flickr  DVD Macro 4 by blurrymystr, on Flickr For this one, I exposed for ambient and fired flash as well, to make the cracks glow and catch the cool colors on the surface.  DVD Macro 5 by blurrymystr, on Flickr Lessons learned: the focus ring on the 50mm f/1.8 is terribad. I was shooting at f/16 to try and maximize the tiny bit of DOF and nailing focus was insane. My next camera purchase is going to be a simple macro rail so I can spend less time trying to inch the tripod forward fractions of an inch.
