Beetle at 2x II
Technique: I was holding on to the Lavender stem that the beetle was on with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady. The background is a piece of blue plexiglass with some cloth, that has glitter on it, behind it.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (-2/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
