Another emergence on May2nd. I persuaded the dragonfly to climb onto a stick. Natural light. Focus stacked using zerene

Anthurium

Shot with a 24mm lens reversed on 3 extension tubes. The flash is mounted on a hinged hot shoe that allows the flash to lean out over the stack, a DIY snoot fires the light directly in front of the lens.

I've made this pic with a macro reverse ring and a 18-55 kit lens on my D5100, on a nice sunny day.

Large hoverfly Volucella zonaria on hebe. Natural light

Here I reversed an Olympus 50mm f1.8 zuiko onto a Canon 50mm f1.4.

Most people have probably experimented with this technique and will understand how ridiculously shallow the depth of field becomes.

This shot took a few takes as the focus was difficult to get right, also Ben kept on laughing

I like the vignetting the reverse lens created.

Macro shot of a Locust. Taken using a Canon L Series 100mm Macro lens on a EOS 600d. This shot was taken in a makeshift studio. Used a tripod.

My girlfriend rescued the Locust (later named Haf) from my brother who was going to feed poor Haf to a Tarantula!

Honey bee on honey feeder. The feeder is just a plastic milk bottle top with small lengths of plastic straw in it to stop bugs falling in and drowning

What? Is there something on my face?

Just peeking out, I'm practicing with the macro lens.

Raindrop on pond filter brush. Not done one of these shots for ages but like how the nylon fibres act as light guides. I have changed the hue in PS
