Nice pics! Vivid colours and good focus.

From your EXIF data:

X-Resolution: 300 dpi
Y-Resolution: 300 dpi

How do you change yours to 300 dpi? All my pics are 240 dpi.


ICCProfile Name: Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001

Where did you get your Nikon sRGB ICC profile for Photoshop?
I've been looking around and can't find it anywhere.

I notice that my original jpg is 300 dpi, it's 240 dpi after I save it in photoshop (still trying to figure out why).

the ICC profile... I have one called: Nikon WinMonitor 4.0.0.3000. I guess that is the one you're using? (yours is Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001, so I guess it could be).

Do you edit your EXIF in ViewNX? Or Photoshop RAW plugin?

Oops, I meant RAW, not EXIF.
I'm guessing you use Capture NX 2 to edit your RAW files. I just installed it, it's damn slow!

nice shots u have.
Although many macro shooters prefers a green bg for a more natural feel, your style of using a black bg (possibly by using M mode setting high shutter speed with the only light source from your flash) works rather well!

Very nice images.

I like how you control the DOF for #5 antenna!

#2 is NOT a treehopper. These "type" are some type of hoppers, not sure which , but is not a TH.
