Topic: POW Week 22: Bugzzzz

No, these should not be photos of one of our esteemed members. Let's see those creepy crawlies. (Spiders and such are OK here...)

So break out those macro lenses....

A few guidelines:
1. Photo needs to go along with the subject in some way.
2. Use thumbnails for photos with any dimension larger than 450 px or over 40 kb.
3. Post as many as you want.
4. At the end of the week the person who chose the topic will pick someone to choose the next topic. This isn't a "winner," just someone who gets to suggest the next topic.
5. No critiques (unless requested) this is just to share our photos.
6. No sigs.

Aw, dang. I've been recently getting into the whole digital photography thing, and semi-conveniently, my windows have been overrun by flies, (seriously, hundreds, I've been trying to vacuum them up for 3 days!) but no macro lenses.. Can't get any pictures detailed enough to warrant posting. Ah well, next time maybe. :

I started looking on my window sill for flies...is it just natural reflex? lol.

I'll see what I can do for this one.

I am still trying to figure out macro on my camera.... I think I can still call it a camera... Its more of a toy compared to what some of you use.

I know how you feel nemesis, i like it loads, better than my attempt, i'm trying to figure my camera out.

BUGZZZ!!! Excellent subject matter of that there can be no doubt. I might have one or two snaps laying around somewhere.

Das, that moth is extremely beautiful.

Well damn.

This is honestly not meant as a shameless plug. It's just that I really loved this moth and I'm not able to upload any photos right now so this is the closest I have online for this topic. I've got some others I can get up there later.

cyoung, what's your setup for taking those pictures? (Camera? Lense(s)?)

[Edit: Damn sig.]

D-60, an old first generation 28-80 macro zoom canon EF lens (the autofocus is worthless these days), one or more close up filters (hoya) and off camera flash. The shots w/black backgrounds were night time shots, sometimes using a white reflector. That can be faked with a piece of black velvet and natural light though, assuming the critter will hold still.

Very impressive, cyoung I love the lighting on those.

Where the hell do you live Das? You gots some cool creepy crawlies.

Alright man, it's up to you. Choose the next topic.

We're getting a lot of these. I had to browse back quite a ways to see what the previous topics were. Hope I didn't miss one and duplicate a theme...

DAMNNNN, cyoung... that fly-eating-fly shot is AMAZING@@@@@ love it. Wish I could get this close to things....
