Insect~O~Saurus' photostream
|
I've always had an interest in photography and nature, particularly insects, although only seriously started treating the latter as serious photographic candidates in 2010.
I am self-taught in photography and find the challenge of close-up work particularly satisfying and find this field of photography is forever presenting new opportunities and is a superb learning experience.
I've tried a few different setups for close-up work but my favoured has to be the zoom reversed lens I've been working with recently. It allows magnifications around 1:1 at one end of the zoom down to a magnification comparable to that of a dissection microscope.

Update August 2011
I've now got myself an MP-E 65 macro lens - the shots below are taken with it - all handheld, uncropped, focus-stacked images
