So I have had this lens for about a week now, and can say that I'm much happier with it than the MP-E 65mm. I have the Canon mount, and probably wouldn't have bought it if it didn't have electronic aperture control. I've found it is either nearly as sharp, or just as sharp as my MP-E. I cannot find ...

There are many people who will be able to answer your question in more detail. However, the short answer is that they are "synthetic" stereos made with Zerene from a normal stack of images. The software produces images which are slightly offset for each eye and gives a 3D effect. Ah great! Thank yo...

Nice pictures, and a delightful story! I notice in this last set of photos that the artificial "iris" effect is toned way down. I don't know whether that was your intention, but I like this rendition better. That's a pleasantly colored and textured substrate for the last few shots. Human skin, I pr...

My pet P. audax after molting - big surprise!
So today has been a rollercoaster of a day for me as an arachno-parent. I'll start by saying that I found a P. audax not too long ago hanging out on my mailbox, while it was nearing freezing temps. Feeling bad for the spider, I figured I could give her a warm home through the winter and then release...

Christmas light filament
It's that time of year! I don't think I have ever thought to look at a tree light filament, so the structure surprised me.
Taken with 5DIV and the MP-E 65mm. 1/100, ISO 200, f/8. Both heads of MT24EX set to 1/8.

The last that I know of, less than 50% of species in the Appalachian mountains have been recorded and cataloged. In some places, like when they were searching for Ted the Uni-bomber, they looked into a cave and reported seeing spiders as big as ones hand and rattlesnakes big around as ones arm. I c...

Looking for US suggestions for a macro vacation
As the title implies, I'm looking for a state within the U.S. that would be good for macro photography. My biggest want is to add some new jumping spiders to my macro collection. Ohio has quite a few cool ones, but I am looking for something a little bigger than the standard P. audax. I'm also inter...

^ Thank you! So many macro people are using similar flash/diffusion approach and F stop/shutter speeds. I have not seen such a pretty spider in Houston/Texas, though I did not try very hard. When/where was it photographed? I hope I can find one in the future. I was a proponent of convex diffusion f...

Very nice! Thank you for sharing. Do you happen to remember the spider's size (or images' on-sensor magnification), and the F stop used there? It looks like you used twin flash through a diffusion collar? If I had to guess I would say maybe ~1cm, maybe a small bit larger. I just looked at the setti...
