This is a species that lets you get close; they'll even land on your finger sometimes if you hold it up.
AF? Manual focus. Cropped off wing at right and some of the sky.(Head was at centre.)
Alive, of course. |

[quote=hotpasta] amazing...and without a macro 1:1 lens...this is brilliant [/quote
I had a old pentax lens, 35-70 and it also had a "macro" option probably just like his. Its not like crappy lenses today that have a macro switch that does about nothing, if his is like mine, the barrell rotates, extends and locks..... effectively becoming an extension tube built in. So he may have been at 1:1. Man i miss lenses like that.

Well, actually I've discovered that this favourite little lens of mine isn't on the lens list, and I've listed it wrong. It's a Sigma Zoom 28-80mm 1:3.5-5.6 II Macro, which can be clicked into macro mode at 80mm. I don't realy feel like asking it to be added to the list because then I would have to change a lot of lens details in my portfolio. ;-Þ

| I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DRAGONFLY THAT CLOSE UP BEFORE!!! HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?! WONDERFUL PICTURE!!!! You can even see the light in the dragonflys eye, which is amazing. I had no idea that is what they really looked like up close, and now that I see them, they are not as cute as I thought they were. |
