rev50 fly and some misc stuff

headster · 29th of September 2006 (Fri)

Hello everybody,

I'm quite new to this whole macro thing but find it so fascinating, that I'm constantly looking for all the info I can find. On this board (and on the FM forums) there's an overwhelming amount of great info for which I wanted to say thanks. I'd also like to post a few of my meagre first efforts in order to get some constructive criticism.

Here's my first usable effort with a reversed 50 on my 100 macro, some eye detail of a fly in my kitchen:

#1:

A mosquito:

#2:

And what I believe to be a hover fly:

#3:

Striking a different pose:

#4:

And a flower:

#5:

As I said: any comments are most welcome and I hope to learn and improve...

Great series

nice shot of the mosquito who looks to be out of luck.

Nice series, especially like the last image of the flower, lighting is very nice.

Thanks for the kind words! Today I got my 430EX, so hopefully my lighting will improve a bit.

Excellent series of shots- The flower is wonderful

Yes that is a hoverfly- a dronefly.

All of them are very nice. #5 really stands out as special.

Very good shots. I specially like the first one. I'm always partial to the close-ups of the heads which show the eye segments.
