All taken in South Australia, during Xmas break with Pentax Sigma 28-80 Lens with Macro Function...

Any advice will be appreciated regarding taking of shots or post processing. All have been adjusted in photoshop (levels, saturation, sharpness, highlights and shadows).

Hi Smarti,

Excellent shots good detail with #2 being my pick.

I think #1could go a tighter crop.

#2 the light on the left I find a bit distracting you could perhaps crop most of it out.

just my thoughts

cheers

I really like these. Number 1 is my pick. The composition of Number 1 is very strong. I would crop out all the unfocussed areas on number 2--much tighter crop. Number 3 is very interesting.

Yeeeuuuuugh!!!!

I can see these are good shots........ But I cant really look at them...


Yeeeooooowwwwww!
:o

I like no 1 the most. I would like to see a macro shot of his head only. This would be awsome!

It always scares me how hairy bugs are!

I like #2 the best - and I like the light on the left in the shot as well.

Thank you everyone for your comments.

I did try to remove / darken the light part of the second shot but I couldn't get a result I was happy with.

The lens is an old lens that isnt really that great at macro. I am looking into buying a better macro lens v's a converter....Im just a novice with a limited budget but really enjoy the whole process. Time to start hunting for some second hand stuff I think...

Yeah, and all the stuff sticking onto those hairs that you don't normally see! Yeurgh!

Beautiful shots though, they're awesome!

All very cool shots. But entirely disgusting.

Excellt shots. The first looks right out of A Bugs Life. Great yuck factor. I say that cuz I hate bug macros. :o
