Post your best Macro shots

[conropl]

Not the best shot here... I was only able to get one shot off before the moth flew off (without the spider). So I did not get the framing right or the DOF, but I thought it was still interesting to get a shot of a colorful moth with an ambitious spider.

Nice ... a "piggy back" spider. Too bad he didn't hang on for the flight

Thanks Joel.

I like the simple beauty of the Unopened Morning Glory.

Great stuff on this page. Great work catching that Spider Pat. I had a moment like that last year, but didn't have the proper equipment to get a good shot.

Joel, Steph, and Kombi, very nice captures.

I have been working on capturing still life after watching a little training last weekend. These were quick set-up and shoots and I am going to try a little more to control the lighting in the next round. Just notice my clock is a little tilted.







All are basically the same set-up. Main umbrella at about 1 o'clock directly above the subject and fill cards all around. I believe next time I am going to use my Apollo, light tent and some other fill cards that I am making. I believe that will make a big difference in reflections and general lighting of the subject.

Green tree frog. It was sticking to the slider door of our condo in Williamsburg, VA. (They're loud too.)

I know I'm dating myself, but doesn't it look like those Peace Frog t-shirts?

Absolutely love the frog shot!!! Fantastic!! I'm too young to remember peace frogs but it does look like pictures of them that I have seen ...LOL!! You should put a psychedelic overlay on it in post!

Absolutely love the frog shot!!!

Thanks. Here's the other good one. Looks like he's smiling.



And, here's one from today. Mr. Toad (American Toad?) makes an appearance. I thought he lived under the deck, but it looks like he just finds his dinner there. I saw him eat a spider, and he was trying to eat an earthworm.


Similar story for Mr Turtle (Eastern Box Turtle?). We might seen them once a year.
