this is amazing!!! can I ask what sort of lens you use??? I would really like to try more macro and thinking about buying a lens – if you have any tips I’d really appreciate it… can’t believe how much details in this… great work!
thankyou ever so much guys and Nicole I use a macro lens MP-E 65mm that goes to 5 x magnification and I will be more than happy to give you tips – remember I am pretty new to this and not technical but more than happy to help – just pm me :)
WOW Another outstanding capture. I like the color on this bg…the greens are bright to me but this is awesome. I love it. You do such awesome work. Do you ever have to catch these guys and pin them down to take such a shot? Just curious! lol
WOW Pat!! This one is incredibly well done!! The golden tones of the background set off that red eye so beautifully. You’ve done a marvellous job on this portrait. Astonishingly detail!!!! Definitely Giddy Aunt quality. :-D
