Jumping Spider by Daniel Spruce

First go at using some el cheapo extension tubes from ebay. I must say these tubes are pretty hard to use, i could hardly see anything through the viewfinder and i felt like the lens was going to drop off at any second. I probably got this one and maybe one more out of a large batch, i do love the extra magnification not sure how often i’ll be strapping them on though. Canon 40D / Sigma 150mm / 580EXII

Curious Katydid by Marleia Main

The family Tettigoniidae, known in American English as katydids and in British English as bush-crickets, contains more than 6,400 species. It is part of the suborder Ensifera and the only family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea. They are also known as long-horned grasshoppers, although they are more closely related to crickets than to grasshoppers. Tettigoniids may be distinguished from grasshoppers by the length of their filamentous antennae, which may exceed their own body length, while grasshoppers’ antennae are always relatively short and thickened.

A Protea by Meeli Sonn

Protea is the English common name of a genus of flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes. The genus Protea was named in 1735 by Carolus Linnaeus after the Greek god Proteus who could change his form at will, because proteas have such different forms. / Proteas attracted the attention of botanists visiting the Cape of Good Hope in the 1600s. Many species were introduced to Europe in the 1700s, enjoying a unique popularity at the time amongst botanists.The Proteaceae family to which Proteas belong is an ancient one. Proteaceae is divided into two subfamilies: the Proteoideae, best represented in southern Africa, and the Grevilleoideae, concentrated in Australia and South America and the other smaller segments of Gondwanaland that are now part of eastern Asia. Africa shares only one genus with Madagascar, whereas South America and Australia share many common genera — this indicates they separated from Africa before they separated from each other.

About This Group

Winner of Our Challenge
Eyestrange

This group was designed for all kinds of nature macro photography, from invertebrate, flowers … Super Macro

Only show your best work Please, read the rules!!! Let us take it from the basics of what super macro photography is. Super macro is referred to the photographing of subjects at a ratio of more than 1:1. Normal macro is when we shoot at 1:1 magnification ratio, that is the 1mm of the subject is produced on the sensor as 1mm. Now super macro photography is when we represent 1mm on the subject as more than 1mm on the sensor.

What does super macro photography do?

The photographs become so detailed that you can compare them to looking at an object through a microscope. These photographs have vivid detail of the miniature world. Commercially they are required for text books journals etc. They are also used in advertisements and such promotional materials. Most importantly it allows the photographer to capture a world that is not seen with the naked eye.The image below shows a super macro of a leaf.

We can and will reject all images that don’t fit into these rules or that we think don’t have the quality we’re looking for.

We want to thank all those who joined us and showed their fabulous work .
