Have you used the MP-E 65 much before? It can be a little tricky to get used to at the start. Good first shots though

Just a new camera, doesn't actually help with macro though, apart from getting a few more pixels on the subject. Baby jumper on the side of the house, taken about 2.5:1 and cropped quite a bit  Curious Spider by Marc, on Flickr

jarlywarly posted:I like how you got the ant eye detail it's a bloody hard lens to use that 1x-5x 65mm Usually I find the hardest part is actually finding the subject, at 4x-5x anyway I mean you look at the subject normally, then try to view at your chosen mag through the camera, try to get something in focus, then move around trying to find the subject. Once you've failed that you take your eyes away from the camera, look at the subject and it hasn't f**kin moved. Or you find the subject, get closer to get it in focus, then the lens(or more usually flash) hits whatever it was on, and you can't get close enough to focus It can get really annoying

jarlywarly posted:Yeah I've not really taken a photo i'm happy with with it yet, i got this tiny fly but the focus is off but it's hard to tell "how small" it is in the photo flies just look the same at all scales. I find it's all about angles with the mp e-65. I can usually look at situation and think 'yep i'm never going to get a good shot out of this' I can usually get shots i'm happy with at around x4-x5 but then again I won't shoot at x4-x5 unless i'm fairly certain i'll get it. These I am happy with  Striped Mosquito by Marc, on Flickr  Ants by Marc, on Flickr As always in insect macro, get the eyes in focus On the other end of the scale I've been trying out a wide-angle macro lens. I think it's harder to use than the mp e-65  But should be useful in certain situations

jarlywarly posted:That mosquito is glorious, what's you lighting/flash setup for that? I use the mt-24ex twin head flash, heads each have 2 diffusers on them to try and soften the lighting. spookygonk posted:Holy cow! Nothing special, I'm usually around f10-13 using this lens at around x3-x5. Seems to be good enough. Again for me it seems to be more about getting good angles, and a nice soft light.

Well they are kind of easy, once they start sucking they stick on till they are fill or you brush them off. Generally though the 1-5 is a little difficult as the focus plain is kinda small, can be hard to find your subject, flash heads get in the way, and the front of the lens itself usually more than anything hinders your focus at higher mags.

jarlywarly posted:The under growth is sphagnum moss or similar, it's really tiny and fine, the lighting is a combo of off camera flash and a bit of natural light. I found it pretty challenging, my camera was basically nestled in the moss and the lighting took many attempts to get right, definitely a learning curve. Well done Love the lightingI've just got a butterfly  Monarch Butterfly by Marc, on Flickr

Flash is the way to go especially if you're close to 1:1. I tend to use natural light mainly for flying shots, or wide angle macro, otherwise nearly always use flash  Jumper by Marc, on Flickr
