Nice shot here Rick. The purple in the BG really draws attention to the fly. Good job

All the best,

Tom

:lol: yeah, that just about said it Mike :D I to am thinking about buying the 20D because it has 1 More focuspoints (up to 36 I believe) 2 Remote TTL, great for use with the sigma 105 mm macro (which was reccomended to me 3 From my experience in the store, Nikon tends to terminate anything older tha...

Hey folks, Another question for you, Which flash is more adviseable a Canon MT-24EX twin-lite or a Sigma EM-140 DG ringflasher? I don't care much about difference in price you know I want good stuff. I havent's found any qualitycamparison sites that enable you to compare these two, let alone to view...

Now that's a nice trip-shot.

Nicely done psycedelic rattler mike
Love the sharpness and focal point

All the best,

Really nice shot here Biawak ( a bit shameless for the frog though )
Personally I like the first version the best, nice and crisp and sunny.

Well Ken, about the noticing part, When I was a kid I allways saw bugs and birds that nobody else saw, but now that I have taken up photography I am much more alert for everything from plants to insects and even some faces that I see (and I really dislike portrait photo's, cause people allways pose ...

Guess I will have to save up a bit more money then

It's a bit of a thing with me, I don't want to buy cheap alternates and save up money just a bit longer, guess I will be going for the sigma 105 then

Thank you both for your advice on this,

All the best,

Tom B

I don't know Danny, I once borrowed a tamron 70-300 with macro from my boss and it is quite hard to get rightly placed focus. I don't know for sure how the 100 mm will workj out, but the 50 mm has a minimum focus distance of aprox. 19 cm. Witch is just far enough for me.

All the best,

Hey folks..

Just wanted to let you know that I am saving up my money now.. i wanna buy the eos 20D 18-70 kit and a sigma 50 mm macrolens.



All the best,

I don't know if this is a female or a male Mike, this one had that reddish claw/stinger on it's tail.

Maybe it's because of the oil-drenched wood. The water may stay on top of it and therefore can easier form crystals. The ones I mensioned earlier where formed on succulents, those have a bit greasy top layer to protect them form drought

All the best,

Hey folks, I was cleaving wood today when I suddenly saw a lot of small black spots moving quite slowly on a freshly cloven piece of wood. Turned out they where little ants, about 2 mm. Guess that makes them the first that I shot this year. I wonder if they use this method to survive the winter, cau...

Wonderfull shot there. Looks a bit like some WWII german airplanes nicknamed "Mosquito"

Great composition mate

All the best,

Tom B

These chrystals look like the ones I shot a while ago, they remind me of sugar chrystals. I like your composition better though.. what kind of wood are they growing in anyway? Those other spikes where beautifull too.

All the best,
