Pair of Ladybirds

Out again now the weather has improved with my M 50mm 1.7 and 50mm extension tube. More ladybirds, sorry - can't find much else moving yet and that which does is mostly too fast....

Just ordered a decently priced Vivitar 2X MC7 macro converter which might help with giving me a bit more distance, hopefully without losing too much quality. I'm almost poking their eyes out at the moment.

This was hand held with catch in focus and a complete fluke. Cropped in PSP and slightly sharpened.

C & C welcomed

Another one

2nd one is the better of the two, some eye contact always makes for a better shot.

I'm still very much a beginner at macro and still playing around with lenses/tubes to see what works.

I'll have another go today and see if I can look one in the eye!

First is pretty much a write off, just too dark. Keep it up though, macro takes a lot of practice, but is very addictive, and your set up is producing results
