He was sitting on a buttercup eating lots of pollen. 1:1 magnification heavily cropped. Welcome to POTN, Chris! Cute pic of that bug. It looks very tiny.

I shoot most of my macro with a 10 yr old T2i for many reasons. If you are in a controlled "enough" of an environment you can keep the ISO low, say 400 or lower. You should be fine, I think. Shooting wide & then cropping might be a different story.

johnfosteruk Goldmember More info Post edited over 3 years ago by johnfosteruk. | Thanks Arch. Yes, the first image was shot at mfd 1:1 (I think that actually comes out slightly higher mag than 1:1 on a DX). Then I cropped to about 70%

May 18, 2020 12:44 | #3461 secretChris wrote in post #19065187 Hi! Very cool to see so many people posting great bug shots. I've had my macro lens for only a couple of weeks but I think I'm getting better. On a side note, how important are megapixels for macro? My D90 got 12mp ans I wonder if this is the biggest factor holding me back getting more detail. Cool midge!  Image hosted by forum (1045401) © Archibald [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW.

But realistically, I think I could get good results with my ancient Canon XT (8 mp).
