    How do you enlarge it like this? It would definitely be too small for my 1:1 macro lens. Posted 8 years ago

      I don't have any fancy equipment - just an oldish bridge camera with a screw-on Raynox macro adapter. The other day I wrote up a little bit in reaction to a remark bij RMFelix with links to images in a comment with this photo:

        Yes I did see that, the information must not have sticked :)
        Amazing what you're squeezing out of that setup.         Posted 8 years ago

          Friends of mine have good results by fitting a Raynox DCR250 on top of the 1:1 Macro on their DSLR. That one has less extra magnification compared to the MSN202 that I use most of the time now, but my camera doesn't have the same base quality/magnification so it needs more "extra". The MSN202 on a 1:1 Macro probably wouldn't work well. Posted 8 years ago

            Macro photography indeed can be accomplished in many ways. Here a stunning result using a reversed lens:

            Nomada signata I took this picture on a very weird day, one moment it was sun all over and a few minutes later pouring rain. But the bee stood his ground between the laurier leaves, and i could take a lot of pictures between the heavy rainfall. Geotagged,Netherlands,Nomada signata,Spring


            And some use the Canon MP-E 65 lens which goes far beyond 1:1

              Yes - gorgeous images! Probably involved some stacking as well I suspect - but what a result! :o) Posted 8 years ago

                Believe it or not, the first one is not stacked, yet the second one is. Posted 8 years ago

                  Very good DOF on that first one, and fine work getting the eyes and legs in the same focusplane :o) Posted 8 years ago

                    Exactly, that photographer does a lot of things I did not imagine possible:

                    Big magnification, big depth of field...whilst shooting from hand, zero stacking.                     Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago

                        Oh yes :) My favorite:

                        Triops This is a Triops. I gave my son one of those triops breeding kits. It was a big succes!<br /> This one lived just under three months which is very old for a triops. Picture made with a revesed 35mm pentax lens Geotagged,Netherlands,Spring,Triops,Triops longicaudatus
