After having some fun with the Ladybug, I thought to see if I had any other macros worth posting. This one was taken two years ago with just a single corded SB-800 bounced off a white brolly (thanks girls - still using it!).
This Rhinoceros beetle was most likely the cause of death for the poor papaya tree behind the Hash house in Indooroopilly. Everyday, for a long while, it would continuously gouge holes in the major roots of the tree. I gingerly handled this monster who wasn't particularly pleased at being displaced from his tree molestation. The shot was to make the beetle's eye the focal point, but an ant wandered by to have a look.
Getting the ant in the right focal plane was just dumb luck as it was already hard to best use the limit DoF on the 90mm macro at close working ranges. Even at f9.0 it's "wafer thin"! (@ mark 4:06)
