Progressively closer

Tamron 90mm macro with Vivitar 2X teleconverter attached.
Starting to quite like this teleconverter thing, all images are manual focus, hand held and uncropped.

I could have got a LOT closer I reckon but he was getting a bit twitchy as it was













Click on pic for flickr and insane size.

Wow Fantastic shot I can't fault that. The colours contrast very well.

Nice composition and colours, but looking at the full size version, I can't help but think the quality's suffering, probably due to that teleconverter. Nothing looks properly defined, not from being out of focus, or due to camera shake, but just a bit fuzzy over all.

I'd be inclined to try some test shots with and without the converter, just to see how much it affects the image quality.

To be honest I don't think I could get that close without the converter.
I will give it a bash tomorrow just to see.

I replied to that before seeing your other thread, and the fly there looks nicely detailed. But, being two different subjects may well confuse things, and it may be the contrast on the fly's eye that gives the impression of sharpness. Nice shot though, and very well done with the focusing.
