Brilliant shots!

[MonkeymanC3]

Thank you all for your lovely comments! They are all appreciated. :D

[johnkermit1]

did u use the raynox 250, or that msn202 lens?

[MonkeymanC3]

MSN-202 in combination with the powershot G7. Lovely combination, although I do own the 250, it is only really suited for larger insects/flowers. :)

Really like the angle on #6, Monkeyman. Nice series!

[johnkermit1]

do you have an example of shots with the 250 macro lens?

[MonkeymanC3]

Here are a few taken with the G7 and the Raynox 250 for ya'. :)

wonderful shots. thanks for sharing. i know im getting almost 4x the mag i have in my supermacro mode, so im really happy with that. the 202 lens is insane with magnification. so im glad i chose the 250, and next ill try out the 202, if i feel the need
i love the wolf spider and the leaf hopper.
is the refraction photo stacked? looks good too!

[johnkermit1]

i assume these are full frame shots.
i cant wait to NOT crop all my photos..lol (maybe a lil crop here and there if i get good details)

[MonkeymanC3]

Thanks man. The EA dewdrop shot I think was two shots with the in focus bits added from one onto the other, as the DOF was too small otherwise. And yes, minimal cropping is required from most shots, although if I want to bring out a bit more detail - particularly eye details - then cropping is necessary. If you want anymore help, comparison between 202/250 on the same subject or something along those lines don’t hesitate to ask in here, or through PM. :)

[johnkermit1]

excellent. thanks a million. i remember a post a while back that you did i thought showing comparisions....?
ill give you a shout with any questions.
thanks again!
