. . . . . . . . . .

This is the third series of extreme macro shots, after Eye of grasshopper and Eyes of dragonfly .

Some questions were raised, on how did I capture this shot.

I learn from Haldian as follows:

1. Capture the fly or mosquito or dragonfly and put it on plastic bag, or plastic bottle.

2. Put the bottle in the freezer for less than 1 minute, to make the fly unconcious

3. Take one at the time and place it on the flower or paper or anything and immediately start shooting . .

4. This fly will be concious in less than a minute and back to life . .

5. Take the other flies, if you still not satisfied with the first shoots.

I am using lens MP-E 65mm with micro flash.

Hope it will help.

Thank you for viewing it.

Cheers,
TJutjut

hi Mas Tjutjut.

Haldian

Okay, okay, but it it so easy for you to catch them, they always seems to see you coming from every side!

Hi Tjutjut,

Good and strange advice -have to think a bit about that before putting an animal in the freezer- but an excellent capture, maybe you can come up with a bait to keep them occupied....
