Dead cockroach and others

How boh leow can one get

I have phobia of cockroach so the only way to shoot them is to find a dead one

Got a Tarmon 17-35mm today.

The following shots are taken with this lens.

Cheers

melvynyeo, I liked the lighting for the cockroach. You used your flash? And what lens were you using?

I hate to say it...but the cockroach don't look so bad for macro shots! But I still detest them....esp flying ones...

Interesting shots from the new lens...Like the ant shots.....like travelling on the 'ant'press way...

reminded me of the days in Bio class when we had to disect cockroaches...the smell still hunts me!

ortega · 14th October 2005

the details and composition of #2 is good
can try to bring it into a studio for a shoot

benny · 15th October 2005

So much details!

How did you kill the roach without squashing it to mulm? If you use Shelltox, then it's toxic to handler after it's dead..

Cheers,

For those who feel disgust, I apologise

cockroach doesnt look that bad close up. Kinda cool looking helmet.
I still dont like flying cockroach.

By the way, i once remember a photographer put cockroach in freezer to slow down their movement by a lot but still alive. Then she/he painted them and photograph the insects.

maybe can help curb the phobia of roaches.. definately not me.. i still detest em.. esp the flying ones.. no license to fly.. definately a F for their flying.. but makes me wonder.. where you got the roach.. seems so "photogenic" on screen.. where the rest seems utterly disgusting..
