Bug eyed, part two.

Here are some more with the same theme, again all with the 28 mm reversed, SB-800 for lighting and a milk jug material diffuser.

These are heave crops, processed in capture and cs2 and tlr capture and creative sharpening used.

Small bee or wasp?

Thanks for the comments.

These are all hand held on active subjects, the working distance is two inches from the end of the lens.

I use a Nikon BR-2a reversing ring to reverse an old Yashica 28mm low end lens on the camera.

The success rate is low since at f11 the depth of field is about 1/3 of a mm, sometimes I have to combine two or three pictures to get a decent depth of field and I will take this in account when taking the picture, the Earwig is a combination of two pictures.
