Pinocchio Fly

I am trying to master the MP-E 65mm lens. This is full frame.

Looks better when viewed large.

The eyes have it. What's the red background?

Thanx DL. The background is a coleus leaf.

Splendid shot! Nice background!

Nice shot...love the background. I knew I'd eventually see you with the MP-E 65mm. How are you liking it compared to your other macro setups, or is it too early to tell?

wow. wow. dear Mark!

B:l:ana

You finally gave up and bought it :) !

 

I hope you will have as much fun as I have had with this lens!

 

 

If anyone has a shot at mastering the MP-E65 it would be Mark. Whenever I feel too cocky I crank that baby past 2X and get put back in my place!

Hi Mark,

The MP-E65 is a nice beast isn't it? It's like using a P&S up to 5x just concentrating on the image and leaving all technicalities aside.

I expect to see some great work from you once you've climbed the learning curve.

 

Regarding this image, the background is really great. It complements the fly eyes and gives an overall sense of menace to the image. I would have liked to see the top of the fly in frame. As it's now it leaves me wanting to see the 'crest' of the fly.

 

regards,

Gerard.

Very good macro. Regards. Stanko
