You do have a thing for insects, eh Marc?

Great shot, btw. Was it tough holding focus that close with such a narrow DOF?

Actually I think I have a thing for macro. Insects happen to be interesting macro subjects. Holding the focus was not to difficult because: A. I had the camera on the porch B. Subject was freshly molted, so not very mobile. C. Time delayed shutter

Just set the focus 1:1 and slowly moved it in range, actually took about 10 shots and this is just one of them.

@Dave: Thanks man!

Ah, nothing like a cooperative model.

What's your feelings about this lens over the 100mm macro? Are you going to try that one as well?

SOOC. Just straightened the horizon a bit and resized for the web.

Chewy734 · 11-01-2011, 09:22 PM

nice one Mark!

M_Six · 11-01-2011, 09:26 PM

Thanks, Chewy. I'm lovin' the ND filter stacked with the CPL.

Chewy734 · 11-01-2011, 09:28 PM

what order do you stack them?

M_Six · 11-01-2011, 09:35 PM

CPL on the lens, ND on the CPL. Not sure it makes a diff, but I thought it might be better to have a constant light level hitting the CPL rather than a variable light level hitting the ND. I'm no physics major, so I have no idea if it even matters.

Chewy734 · 11-01-2011, 09:36 PM

good thinking Mark

M_Six · 11-01-2011, 10:00 PM

I just wish the lens cap would stay on the ND filter better. The slightest tap knocks it off. I probably need an aftermarket center pinch lens cap.

M_Six · 11-01-2011, 10:03 PM

One more. This was after the sun dropped below the horizon.

^ nice shot! One of these days I'll finally make it to Yellowstone.

UdubBadger · 11-04-2011, 09:07 AM

I'd settle for just making it past the front range of the rockies.

the entire west side of the country is so beautiful.... except for LA.
