Wow. I am NOT using my 100mm lens to its potential.

How do you get the creatures to keep still? I sweet talk them but it never works.


Have a wheelie nice day!

Focus and DOF is very pleasing, Lighting is a tad harsh (sunlight is a killer i know) but over all it's a great set and variety :)

Thanks! Lighting has been my nemesis. I actually just got a diffuser, but forgot to use it today on the snail and ant shots :( I don't know how you guys get such awesome lighting without a flash spot on the subject.

I can't speak for anyone else but lighting has become a obsession of mine over the last month or so, i've spent countless hours designing and testing a flash diffuser i've built. It still has a ways to go but its been a blast building it. The only limit is your own imagination :D

Lovely set Ace.

Shot 8 is wonderful IMO.

One of the biggest things to imporve my work (apart from practice) was when I sorted the flash diffusion on the MT-24. That then allowed me to simply use the camera, and concentrate on the subjects. I have had one or two nice shots since....

I now need to do the same for the standard flash, and then pretty well everything wrong will be me, not the gear :D

Very nice shots overall; just keep working on your light - it is a never-ending process!

very nice set Ace, the light is working good as it looks very even, maybe stop down your flash compensation will help alot with softening your light a bit more, 8 and 10 are wonderful
