I'm going to come out with my own line of "Happy Global Warming" cards. December 22nd, 2008 and it's 17C (62F).

A Hoverfly shot at three times life size with a Canon MPE-65mmm macro lens.

These are also my first set with the Canon 50D. For those of you having problems with the 40D and the MT-24EX the 50D's light meter is a lot more reliable. But it is also noisier than the 40D...

its odd how unreliable exposure is with the 40D/MT-24EX, no such problem with the MR-14EX. These look fine, I presume the 50D sensor is not much noisier?

both shots are awesome, great colors, sharpness and composition.

don't know about global warming though, it's really cold right now in Israel, around 15-17C during the day. yeah i know lol, sounds pretty warm at this time of year but for us it's colder than usual (we're used to around 20C at this time)

Great shots. I have not been able to capture a good hover shot with my mpe-65 yet. Dont know how you guys do it.
So does the mt-24 not a good match up with the 40D? Does the MT-24 shoot a red beam like the regular flashes?

Care to elaborate on that 50D noise issue? I'm saving for a 5D myself, to supplement my 40D but a few buddies are looking at the 50D.

Cracking shots btw, as always.
