It's amazing the detail you can resolve and see things you never saw before DSLRs arrived.

Clyde looks as though he is sporting a 3rd eye 'webcam' compete with WiFi antenna.

Great colour as well.

Another fine image Derek.

Superb macro Derek, this is quite similar to one I've posted previously, which was also a Dung Fly. In particular I love the shallow DOF, which is a feature of my macro images, could you please tell me what aperture was used? In mine I used a Sigma 105 macro on tubes, at F2.8.

Cheers

Hi David, believe it or not but this was at f8, 2 major contributing factors to the shallow dof, (1) the use of bellows and magnification, I had around 120mm of extension and was at 1:1 focus distance on the lens, (2) is distance, the dung fly was literally 75mm from the front element, I had to raise iso to 400 from my norm which is 200 as it was so close to the front element and slightly inside the range of the flash.
I too use the sigma 105mm macro.

I know what i like, If not always why.
