wow dllavaneras, how did you get those shots? Whats your eq? EXIF? and erm...did you use extension tube or something?
His EXIF is intact in his photos. If you don't have an EXIF viewer for your browser, you should seek one out. Highly recommended!
Oh, and by the way, dllavaneras, I second that "wow."
Thank you very much, both of you! I'm glad you liked it
The EXIF is intact in every photo I upload. As for my equipment, it just so happens that the person I went picture taking with took me a picture of the exact moment I took the wasp pic. You can see it
here. Canon XTi, 100mm f2.8 macro lens, MR-14 EX Ring Flash, 68mm of Kenko extension tubes and an immense amount of patience, luck and not being afraid to get up and close with bugs
The recent butterfly macros have been awesome, so there's no point in me trying to keep up. I will post another critter that not many people have seen, a velvet worm,
Peripatus sp. (Onychophora: Peripatidae) These are incredible creatures! I've seen them only three times in my entire life.
You can see that the antennae have rings, and at the base of each there's a black spot which is actually the eye. The whole body is covered with tiny "bumps" (papillae, not rigid at all) that give it a velvet-y texture and the common name. The Phylum name refers to little claws at the end of each lobopodia.
