PnS : Thanks.

ortega : Thanks, how do u totally remove the backgrounds or blacken it when it's like a few cm away from the dragonfly?

normally I try to use POV, but if that does not work then move the BG away or wait for another shot.

D70 w/ AF-S VR 24-120 f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED

I think the dragonfly is using a +4 closeup filter and the butt is using +4 and +2 stacked.

Not a bad macro combo.
