very clear, is this taken with Canon EOS 40D with macro lens? or what?
myriorama (65 months ago | reply)
right, jbuddenh, 40D with the 50mm macro lens + 56mm extension. i was getting ready to photograph the springtails when i spotted the boatman and didn't have time to remove either extension tube. was afraid i'd disturb it getting so close, but it only moved from leaf to leaf a couple of times until ru came galloping by and it dove.
thanks, you all!

Very nice shot. I didn't realize that they ever came out of the water. I love how your photos really look like nature shots. Many macro shots look like studio shots (which I still like) but you put a good amount emphasis on the subjects surroundings which I think gives your photos an extra appeal.

Another amazing photo. Wish I had you camera equipment and your skills!
