Post your Insect shots

[Moab Man]

Moabman, the fly is awesome!

is it me or does that little spider look quite confused

I think he was. Every time he heard the shutter it would catch his interest and he would turn and look back at me.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I guess I caught his eye... errr... eyes... as you can see my reflection in all of them.

Some 'bugs' from today. I'm experimenting with flash and high aperture. All hand held and cropped a good bit.

Love that last spider belly shot!

Great photos everyone, I love bugs but I think we need to rename this thread as its got more then just insects in it as spiders aren't actually insects maybe name it Kreepy Krawly's

Some new ones as my prep for my showcase-

Macro's cool, macro's fine, but catch them all in-flight

I guess that's why they see so well. It's almost a panoramic view.

Ive also posted these in another section but this is also relevant - click for bigger buggers

So what glass are you guys using for these? Can't imagine being able to be too close or have that still/studio setup going.

Great close-ups!

Thanks Marilynne... taken with my Sigma 105 macro... Tough to get good ones, especially hand-held. I am getting better.. Lots of mentors helping as usual here too..

This is the "Angry Ant" from back in post #649 .
I have straightened it and cropped it, and enhanced it a bit in Color Efex Pro 4, and Dfine 2.0.
I would like to do more to it, but my PP skills are a bit lacking, this was about as good as I could get it.

D7100, AF Micro Nikkor 55D f2.8, @ f16, ISO 640, 1/60sec, AWB, onboard flash fired, handheld.
