I found some more interesting subjects this afternoon, this moth was impressive.

105mm 1/500 f/32, flash


Then this nice little Preying Mantis was looking for dinner, it was a fast mover and hard to catch

105mm 1/60 f/36, flash


Then things got a bit extreme, this ant is only ~5mm long, the droplet is only 1mm across, and needing a bit more DOF I resorted to the 55mm macro and extension ring + TC201 teleconverter to give me 3:1 magnification.

1/400 f/~64, flash

Wow!

Pretty impressive shots.

- beej

Gordon, you and nature are but one just fantastic shots......

big pix

Outstanding work Gordon, inspirational for a new 105 owner.

Excellent Gordon - I suppose we will never see a bad shot from you

HOLY SH*T!! That is one huge moth.
Oh wait, I thought he was sat atop a bald mans head.

Fantastic shots there Gordon.
Nice work.

Gordon

All excellent - especially the moth. Did you super glue it to your finger or was it just friendly?

Wow, that first one caught me with the finger skin clearly visible.... Great detail in these, I can see why this macro world can be fascinating

Top shots mate, i guess the moth has no night vision tonight? also thats one ugly prey mantis, what happened to the nice green ones??

Keep up the great work

just friendly I think, theres been a few of them around lately... actually I can see 2 more of them on the outside of the window right now, maybe they heard about the bright flash and want to try it out for themselves


Gordon

Interesting shots all, Gordon, but the moth shot is very cool.
