big t 2000 (Tony Heussner)
108.
This is not a good photo. It is mostly blurry, poorly composed, and not very well lit. However I choose this because I was shooting with my 100mm lens along with all of my extension tubes and I was doing this while my external flash was attached and I was freehand without a tripod. Granted this is no feat of amazing skills or any real feat at all, however this was my first time shooting freehand with my extension tubes. It is a pain in the ass. The dof is so narrow so focusing without a tripod is difficult to say the least.
Since it will be relatively rare when I have the opportunity to shoot insects at any angle I want, I am sure to be getting quite a bit of practice with this freehand shooting in the coming months.
