Re: Green Shield Bug
These are very impressive.  . my (now) poor entomology notwithstanding
Although I think borders are hit or miss.. these ones actually work very well
How did you get the Dark background?
Just how big are these bugs in real life?

Re: Green Shield Bug
Excellent shots John, were they taken in a studio setup?

Re: Green Shield Bug
The black/dark background is the result of using a flash to illuminate the insect; anything not in the flashguns range appears dark.
They were taken in my back garden with my Canon 350D, Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro and a Sigma EF 500 Super DG mounted off camera.
The insects are about 12 to 14 mm in length.

Re: Green Shield Bug
Some more great shots from that lens. Did you crop much John?

Number two has no crop, number one a slight crop.

Re: Green Shield Bug
Thanks, that gives me a good idea of the macro capabilities of the lens, it's pretty amazing stuff! Thanks John

Re: Green Shield Bug
These are great John. #2 is my fave - the composition is spot on as are the colours. Lovely.

Re: Green Shield Bug
Nice work. I never seem to be able to find any critters when I get the Macro lens on. Must try harder.
I like No 2 as well. The colour is great, and the flash technique works a treat.

Re: Green Shield Bug
Really like these John. My favourite is the second one. I also like the dark backgrounds so well done using the flash.
Cheers.
