Wow fantastic..... what lens, camera and settings are you using?

obewan · 27th February 2005

So creepy....eee...making me feel itchy now. hehe

Good closeup shots & capture the creepy feelings of these insects well.

#5 is my fav. picture. I like the color, the clarity & the creepiness it shows from those hairy legs.

I am using the panasonic FZ10 with Nikon 6T for the Df shots, and the rest 6T and Sigma close up lens and all bounce flash. #5 had no flash.

Settings: ISO 100, F8 and varying speeds for the pics. Manual mode

Very nice and closeup shots

I like shot #6 for composition and exposure.

sumball · 2nd March 2005

Great catch of the Robberfly.

The focus point in #5 seems like falls on the wings.

ST_sg · 5th March 2005

very nice catch there...

Just wondering are there resize from full frame or 100% crop? There are very sharp and real close to the subjects?

sorry... newbie questions heh

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks ST,

They are all cropped to some extend. Whatever I crop to become the final size....

The subject distance varies are from 19cm to 29cm.
