Weekend Macros

[tchuanye]

Took these on the 19-20 Aug 06 weekend. The Queen weaver ant was not there, but the nest was still there...not sure where it went.....no pics of ants today.

But some spider, butt, hopper and LB pics.

FZ10+Raynox 250, ISO50, F8, 1/60s-1/125s, Twin flash for some, single flash for some. All diffused.

#1: What r u looking at!


#2: Another JS with Prey


#3: Two-Striped Telamonia


#4: My fangs!!!


#5:JS in nest

[tchuanye]

#6: Banded Phintella Male


#7: Another view


#8:I am not a butt person, but this fella was an opportunity shoot....happen to land near me.
Crop too tight....but no choice, had to zoom out on the Raynox 250 to shoot
Is this the Arhopala athada athada?


#9: Like the eyes:


#10: Ladybird

[tchuanye]

#11: Some kind of hopper


#12: Top view


Any C&C appreciated!

The usual excellent pic from your FZ10.

When you upgrade to FZ50.

Anyway nitpick...for 2 flashes.. personally I find 2 square/rectangle catchlights a bit unnatural.

[tltan]

nice shots.

For one, spider shots sure nice.

#9 is fantabulous! sharp and detailed.

#11 is a wierd hopper nice catch too.

Thanks for showing

Regards,

shiok man your shots!

the eyes so big can almost see you inside

[cerebrus]

#9 Love the fine details!

#11, 12 Strange looking bugger. I prefer the side view to the top.

Nice Monday morning entertainment for me

[Qazwer]

Nice catch there! Nice series. Exceptional sharpness and details as usual.

The flanges of the JS in #1 seem to blood or it's natural red?

Very nice macro shots. Just like to ask if the Raynox250 can be mounted onto the 105 macro lens?

Sure. Close up lenses can be added to any lens, and will help for larger zooms and also for macro lens.
