Cool insects inside

[woopidoo2]

I did some macro photography today, after months of nothing.

 

 

 

I'm quite happy with the results, too bad I cant enter them in the comp.

 

CC appreciated :)

Great stuff Jelle, they just need some slight post processing, to make the colours pop.

crap man, the most interesting bugs where i live are spiders and ants :wall:

 

 

 

great shots. i love the bright vibrant colors, and the interesting subject matter. the red spots on the second moth lookin thing are awesome, and the sharpness of the first one is great too! ill discuss more tomorow, its 1:00 here and im about to pass out, just wanted to stop by and say that these are awesome :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

To be honest, I had never seen bugs like these before either.

 

I went to the woods that I go to sometimes, walked around a bit, searched for places that insects would like and there they are :)

 

 

 

All of my macros are made with a Canon 30D (previously the 350D), Canon EF 100mm f2.8 USM MACRO, Hood ET-67 (which would increase sharpness, but mainly for flares in general) and sometimes a mono/tripod. I thought about brining my monopod, but I decided not to bring it with me this time.
