[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Still experimenting with macro lens. This was take with the Canon 100mm f2.8 with a 500D on the end of it. This tiny creature was about 3mm in length/height and was goinf as fast as he could along a stalk of a large sunflower plant.

Even though the 100mm f2.8 is a prime lens, I do not like it as much as some of the earlier prime lens such as carl zeis or even nikkor.

No post production really, not as sharp as I would have liked but I find it pleasing to my eye. I wanted to share it with you all.

I am always happy to get feedback and constructive criticism from my peers so go for it!

Well done Don. I'm imagening it can't be easy trying to take this kind of picture whilst the subjext is still moving ! That is seriously small.
Good job !

Hi Don,
Good macro of this lovely ladybeetle. I like the details and vibrant color. Really well seen with an excellent POV! The ladybug appears like if it was a giant. Really cool. Well done!
