This isn't really good enough to be in the gallery, but for want of a better
place, here it is. I couldn't find my 1:1 adapter for my micro-nikkor, so
used the J37A with 2 of the bigger Zeiss extension tubes. This little
critter was on the side of my enclosed porch, behind my house. I rotated
the pic 90 degrees to dispel any fears of forumers falling off when viewing it.
Little fella is a little over 1/2 inch in length:
I call this "Double Mimicry" because while the bug is mimicking a piece of
dead twig, the picture is mimicking a photo that a real photographer might have
taken. I ran this through a beta version of TP 1.0 (TurdPolish) but it didn't seem
to help. Guess some bugs still need to be worked out in the software.

Good catch Bill. Rather narrow DOF there, eh? |
Thanks, Chris, yeah, *very* narrow DOF where fractions of a mm throw
it OOF. The wind was kicking up and the part of the bug sticking up in
the breeze would flap back and forth. I wonder if even a VR or IS lens
would be any better in this situation. A tripod would've helped, but I was
afraid the wind would carry the bug away while I set it up.

Thanks, Simon, for the kind words. As I posted to your recent entry,
I think you're well-compensated!
I did try to shoot this bug with my Nikon micro-nikkor 105/4, but I
couldn't get near the detail in the bug's antennae. Once again,
the magic of Russian glass!

Thanks, Sorin, I haven't done much of this kind of photography, but it is
fun when you can get results. Wind is your biggest enemy and is the
most frustrating. |
