Nice shots, opie. I can't wait to see that 180mm.

LOL..... definately graphic in Nature. (Pun intended )

very cool!! how do you find so many bugs? I can't find anything in my backyard these days except for a moth or two =/

 

[opie]

It's strange, some days I find nothing (like today) and other days, its bam! Right in the kisser!

By the way, these images are 100% crops with no post processing applied.

 

[Kinetic]

is that with your 100mm or with the 180? I'm confused

Congrats on your new purchase, I am sure you will love the 180. I use the same lens, and it has served me well for quite a long time already! If I am to keep only one lens in my line-up, this is the last one to go.

If you don't mind a little critique, try keeping the plane of focus on the eye of the subject matter. You will find the 180 is even less tolerant in terms of DoF. It gets heavy after a while too!

Anyway, post some photos!

The 180 is proving to have a longer learning curve than the 100mm... the weight is challenging while trying to take bug shots.
I will have to learn more before posting

Very nice images though ... keep up the good work.!
