    Spider that I took a moment to photograph while out in the wilderness late night. Breeze was blowing its web in and out where focus was a crap shoot.

    Also caught this guy in the yard today. The biggest Garder snake I've ever seen at almost 3 feet long. Never tried to bite me but he pooped and pee'd to try and avoid capture. My macro lens has to be my favorite lenses for just about anything I can use it on.


    Three shots composited together to get more focus out of the 100mm IS macro, f/16

    One shot at f/25 to try and avoid extra computer work.

    Spent some time in the back yard with some dragons and damsels. I have no idea what there classifications and names are, but hope you enjoy. Damsels were with the 100mm macro USM with a Kenko 1.4x TC. The Dragons were with the 300mm F4 IS, Kenko 1.4x TC and 56mm of Extension tubes. Sorry for the large post.














    Threw this in also. With the 300 and the Kenko TC cropped a bit

    Snake egg with the new Speckled King snake before he takes his first journey into this world. Used my 40D this time to see if I could get some more depth of field with the 100mm IS lens. f/20

    Do you guys get these green Leaf-Pretenders in other countries?


    This guy was such a good subject, he barely moved the whole time, except when he fell off the wall and landed on my cactus collection.


    All shots 7D, shrunk to 600*900 after cropping. Camera JPGs only, unprocessed besides crop/rotate/shrink. I did get them in RAW this time but not processing anything until i get my new computer...


    First shot 70-300L, 104mm, -2/3EV, ISO400, f/7.1, 1/125s, all my Kenko Tubes. Cropped to 2400*1600.


    [img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/900x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/6052.IMG_5F00_6238s.JPG[/img]


    .


    Next shot Zeiss Sonnar 180mm Pentacon Six mount, ISO400, 1/13s, f/no idea, all my Kenko EF tubes and Pentacon Six Tubes. Cropped 2000*3000.


    [img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/600x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/0383.IMG_5F00_6264s.JPG[/img]


    .


    Next Zeiss Biometar 80mm, ISO800, 1/5s, f/no idea, all EF and P6 tubes. No cropping, only shrunk.


    [img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/900x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/7752.IMG_5F00_6281s.JPG[/img]


    .


    Last shot, Zeiss Biometar 80mm P6 Mount, ISO400, 1/4s (damn this guy was well behaved, and out of the wind), f/no idea, 2X Kiev MC Converter, and a bit of extra lighting. No cropping.


    [img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/900x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/5383.IMG_5F00_6290s.JPG[/img]

    Actually, I think the photo of me taking these photos is even funnier, me smells another thread idea coming on...
