thanks mate. not much of a set up really. lighting was from the afternoon sun, i just used a +4 close up filter on my kit lens zoomed into 55mm.
As for techniquie, it was just a matter of getting as close to the bug as the lens would allow so that it could still focus, then i cropeed the pics a fair bit in photoshop to incroese the size of the bug and sharpened it as well. hope that is a help.
Love #3 the shadow on the leaf really works. Smile

These are great!
I was thinking about getting a macro lens but after seeing what you can do with close up filters, well that purchase can wait...
Top work

trotkiller, if you can afford it, i would still get a dedicated macro lens, you would get a better success rate cos with the filters you have to get up really close and sometimes you can easily scare insects away, whereas you get lots of reach with a macro lens.
