Full size image , no cropping !

:)

great photo

Beautiful!

Great shot!

although it would have been even better if the pink flower wasnt in front of its face.

other than that... great. You must have been waiting for that shot to come up?

how long did you wait?

Nice one, old4570! Your macro-pictures every now and then brighten up the day :-)

I immediately thought you needed something like this. Or at least some supplementary lighting.

This Sigma 90mm 1:2 Macro lens costs around 2000$? Stuff for pros only.

hmmm not sure what you are looking at, but the Sigma 90mm 1:2 is maybe $100-$150 (second hand), not 2000.

Beautiful picture, old! Way nicer than any I've taken! Keep them coming!!

I stumbled upon this butterfly while at my sister's house photographing her flowers. Considering I'm using a $160 camera I thought it was pretty good. :D No cropping. Right-click the pic and view image to see the full res pic.

Settings pleaseā€¦so I can try of course. Pretty clueless in the world of photography though my e-pl5 says I need to learn!



I thought that it is 90mm with f stop of 1.2 those. You cant find F 1.2 for 100$ even used ones.

My mistake.

Thanks guys !

Bee - I hung around the blue berries for about 5 minutes and got the shot , I dont have enough room for angles , so have to take what I can get .

Lens is a 1980's Sigma 90mm 1:2 Macro ( F2.8 ) manual focus .. They sell on ebay for around $180 , I got mine for about half that from a friend .

Ring Light .. Yes one day !

Here is another Bee photo taken earlier in the week ..

Very nice.

Fantastic!

Nice pictures guys. I wish.
