Some Insect Shots at AH

megaweb · 1st March 2004

Below are some insect shots taken at AH on last Sat. Saw authoryeo, Sgt. Pepper and xdivider there in the late morning.

Common Tiger

Plain Tiger

Some kind of moth

Dragonfly

Sgt. Pepper · 1st March 2004

2nd shot of the plain tiger is just amazing! Shadow from the upper-left lighting creates a very natural details. Well done.

You didnt use your 100mm macro for those butt's shots, did you?

Garion · 1st March 2004

Excellent shots, as always.

The 2nd shot of the plain tiger is just breathtaking. Spot on exposure. Tempting me to go back there again (something I haven't done for a long time).

Falcon · 1st March 2004

Little Qns here. How close were the butterflies? Does the 500D reduce the MFD of the lens?

Thanks..

Using 500D, the working distance is abt 1 foot. Not sure 500D will reduce the MFD. So far I am very satisfied with the 500D result.

No, have not try yet. Why do you want to use 180mm macro lens with 500D closeup diopter

I find macro lens works better with extension tubes.
