    Wow. Great shot. As a person who studies dragonflies, though, yikes! It's eating a Tramea carolina -- which are pretty hard for humans to catch with insect nets!

    You forget one thing -- at extreme macro -- you have little depth of field a reversed macro lens at even f16 or f22 has perhaps a cm of dof. These are tiny flowers, not big ones.

    I am finally getting some slides scanned in...I shot a whole roll on these poppy seed

    capsules, I think one was the best of the lot.

    the loopy looper

    Thes caterpillars were actually infesting plants indoors at a greenhouse in Januaury.

    It's the larva of the common cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni. It wasn't until after I

    downloaded the images that I realized that I had shot some of them (incl. this one) at

    2 MP instead of 6 or 12... oh well. Photos taken indoors with an ac strobe & softbox,

    shot at 1/1600 sec at f8. Although the finepix S7000 only stops down to f/8, the

    shutter speed goes to 1/10000.

  1. You are correct --the orginal slide shows the foreground detail much better than the scan. I'll have to muck around with the settings on the scanning software -- (Minolta Dimage Dual Scan II).
  2. A perhaps better shot than the previous one, but less abstract

    and with the 35mm lens gave a nice field of view with more sky

    and foreground. Settings were something like f16 at 1/2 sec if I

    recall correctly, but I never write those things down.

  3. Shot this in August -- we sped up the Mackinac City and got there

    just as the sun was setting -- took a series of shots with my

    Nikon F2 and Fuji Provia. In this shot, used the non -AI 135mm f

    2.8 Nikkor lens. There was another photog there - a Pro -- with 3

    D100's slung on him. I'd like to think I ended up with a better

    shot, but we'll never know.
