Hello Fox and welcome. I have a 350D, a set of Kenko tubes, a 50mm 1.8, a Sigma 18-50 2.8 and the lens that came with the camera, which are retired by now. The tubes are great, but there are some limitations. With the 50mm it works ok, but you come too close to the subject, afreightening the insects...

It is simply beautiful, whatever it is. I dont care to know the names and types, just like to see the beauty of nature.
Tks for share it.

I made some interesting images couple of months ago with plastics under polarized light. Magnification around 2:1 with Canon 350D+50mm+extension tubes. I want to go back to it and shoot some more interesting things. Troubled Waters: http://www.macrophotography.org/albums/album86/IMG_1288_600.jpg Sle...

Magnific picture.
The shadows enhance the perspective and 3D sense

I had never tried cross-eyes. (never heard about neither had thought about it ), but it works fine, after you have done some exercise. Some head ache afterwards.

The enhanced version is great! Ken, you have first to focus your eyes at infinite, as if you were looking through the monitor. Each eye will then look directly to the respective image in front of it. You will see three images out of focus (it is beacuse you see two images with right eye and two with...

It is a good use of a Tilt and Shift lens!
The composition is great, I din't see the uncropped version, but I think that this one is just great.
I just think it is a little dark, perhaps a slight correction on PS would bring more light to it.

Ohhh... more winning pictures coming out.

It looks like a friendly fellow.
Nice shot Sue, sharp indeed.

Inspired by Mike and his snakes, here goes one:

Thanks folks,
I am still missing a good flash to be able to achieve deeper DOF, but I thought that the subject was worth to post anyway

That's a really nice image. I like the way you filled the whole frame with the snake's beautiful body.

Hello all,
Here a recent picture of a bug guarding his/her eggs, I was amazed with the eggs color.

Natural light

Just awsome. Both, the insect and the perfect images.

Tks for looking, guys. It is strange that sometimes the picture appears, sometimes not. Perhaps it is not allowed to use space on the file name as pointed out by Jean-Marc, and it confuses the browser. It is hosted in this site member's gallery. Now I corrected the file name, it seems to work better...
