This was taken with a Nikon D100, Nikkor 105mm Macro lens and a bellows with natural lighting.

    Where'd you find that? Kitchen?

    Great shot. Serious question though. How do you get something like that
    to stay still long enough to photograph it?

    Thanks,

    i'd say its dead...insects are notorious eye cleaners & it has dust & fluff on it. Particularly the eyes & legs.

    That's amazing! Tell me more about the bellows, please.

    I think the EXIF data would be inteesting also - If that was done with natural lighting and a bellows the exposure was probably very looong.....

    The exposure was about 2 seconds long. I used a cable release and mirror lock up when snapping the shot.

    This page has some great info on bellows.

    I haven't done a lot of bug macro stuff, but hope to do more dead/alive bugs this summer.

    The comments sparked my desire to see the posted shot. Unfortunately I dont see the image, like it is a broken link.

    Thats odd, I saw the missing image the first time I looked at this thread so i would think it was a refresh problem and now that I think of it I did hit refresh twice hoping it would load.

    In any case, I see it now.

    Incredible. Very cool, love the detail although I understand what Humungus is saying about the particles. I recently purchased A set of extension tubes so I can try this stuff myself but have not had the time to play with them yet.

    Shots like your make me want to try it as soon as possible.

    Thanks for sharing it.
