well, after that disapointing series from last week, I had a much better one this time. Might be the last time I go out this season, I think it will finish well.

tiny little shell I found under a mushroom. This is 5:1 macro with slight cropping. A stack of 5 shots

under that same mushroom was that fly

also unfortunately squished a springtail by accident, again this is 5:1 macro with cropping

other tiny little fellow (yes, it is getting cold here and most of the bigger bugs are absent)

this nice bug

and my favourite series of the day, a tiny little metallic green wasp, was about 2:1 to 3:1 macro. I was really thrilled. Been looking for some green wasps the whole season without success, so I was really excited!

take care

Martin

 

[Crysta]

very beautiful photos martin!! I need to get out there 0.0 hehe

thanks for sharing and the green wasp with the purple is amazing

good luck with the twins

 

[tarcan]

thanks, yeah, you are lucky to be in BC, you should have all kinds of crazy things out there + a mild winter. You better go out there and show us some pics!

 

[JesseD]

Incredible! Unfortunately these shots are quite distracting while at work! Which one will end up my next desktop background?

 

[spiderslight]

All i have to say is those pictures are amazing and that i need a better camera. LOL love the pictures!!!!!!

 

[tarcan]

thank you everyone for the nice comments and for looking.

time to get serious now... here is my new set up which will give me 10x macro... I am missing a little bit of tubing to get there, should be settled soon.

here is a picture from tonight, not great, but a start, it is insanely hard to handhold at this magnification and if the insect is moving, it is impossible to find it! Will be my next year's challenge.

Anyhow, not sure how much mag there is, but it is close to 10x

take care

Martin

 

[pato_chacoana]

Wow! Martin, you're taking macro photography to a whole other level!!
I loved the last bug in the flower shot!!

I'm excited to see new pics with that setup!

Cheers,
Pato

 

[tarcan]

Pato,

yes, but it is insanely difficult, the DOF is non existant! Will have to practice a lot at home before I can contemplate taken that on the field!

Thanks for the comment

Martin
