Hunting Tigers with MPE

GOLDENORFE

NEVER thought i could get close enough to shoot one of these with mpe!
lying on wet peat bogs to crawl up to them, enjoyed it immensly after got these shots
exposure much easier than the shots taken with 100mm, colour rendition looks spot on in this shot, the dark peat is extremly difficult to get wb correct, everything tends to look browny coloured when shooting at whixall!
single frame, 5d2,mpe at x3 ish mag f13

Wow, this is great! This makes me want to go out and take some more macro shots :P. Takes alot of patients to get a shot like this.

GOLDENORFE

Tmetroff

Nice shot! It was worth crawling in the dirt
