What a strange looking plant! Don't think I've seen one of those where I live. Bizarre bug, too - it's body look like a fuzzy soft toy.

Nice shot.

Gorgeous, clear capture as always! I would love to know what setup you're shooting with. I'm using a 50mm macro lens and pushing it beyond it's limits at the moment lol I need to upgrade - any suggestions? I can't decide between extension tubes, or a 100mm macro.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

MartinAmm In reply to GreenEyedHarpy [2008-04-17 12:20:30 +0000 UTC]

if you use extension tubes the expurse time will increase. so it will be better to use a 100mm or 150mm macro lens.

The flower is awesome-looking.

And...what is that? It's an amazingly detailed shot, but I don't think we have whatever that type of insect is around these parts.

frΓΌher war mir dieses Insekt auch nicht bekannt; man lernt halt nie aus
klar kenn ich das tierheim auf dem kreuzberg, auf dem ich einen großteil meiner makros geschossen habe.
vor ein paar Monaten hat sich auch Michael Schumacher einen Hund in GehΓΌlz/Kronach besorgt habe ΓΌberhaupt nicht gewusst dass unsere Hunde so gut seien sollen
