Really IMPRESSIVE image. Congratulations. Best Wishes. (sorry have no more seven)

This is one special macro of a bug with dew! Its the way the dew drops brings out /magnify the eyes which I dont think have ever seen before. then I checked your profile and you seem to be a master of it.

7/7

 

Amazing macro martin . Was this lens in reverse position ?

 

Thanks ...

 

Ali ...

no in normal position. but i heard that the enlarging lenses have a better quality if you use them in a reverse position. the problem is that i didn?t find a proper object for this

Excellent shot! The details are really stunning. Congratulations. Emmanuel

Impressive! I think this is the best macro I?ve ever seen. Congrats!

no words to describe this shot!!!

see above, possibly one of the best shot I have ever seen!!

magic - colours, composition, DOF, sharpness - all perfect for me. amazing.

Very nice details and effect, my regards, RK!

stunning

7/7 Excellent!

I'm amazed that you got this very beautiful shot with a 50mm lens. How close were you to the subject?

to all. the distance were only a few centimeters

 

What an amazing shot! The selective magnification provided by the water droplets is fascinating. I stared at this photo for an hour tonight!

I would love to know as many details as possible concerning how you obtained this shot. This embodies everything that makes macro photography so compelling...

thanks for your comment. i searched, before sunrise, near a small pond for some dragonflies. until i found one it last sometimes more than 1 hour. the photo technical details are: i used a tripod, a nikon d200 and a bellow together with an enlarger lens (like rodagon or componon lenses). the shutter speed was, as i can remember, 1,5 sec. at an aperture of 13. i used the function mirror-up of my camera, to reduce vibrations caused by the mirror and shutter.

i hope i answerd most of your question, if not please ask ;)

like ju

I guess the dragonfly is still too cold to fly away. What time of year is this? Either way an impressive image and definitely worth the time searching for a dragonfly.

i took this shot at the end of september. the big advantage at this time of the year is that the night are getting colder. so you have a great light situation, fog and many dew as the result.

Very cool!!!!

Viewing this photo is a life changing experience. Thank you so much for sharing it. So say it's incredible doesn't do it justice.

I'm speechless. I believe this is the best photo I've ever seen. Simply perfect.
