Artist's Comments

INFORMATION :

I never thought my deviation would ever selected as DD. One of the comments say I should have put some description on it. Well sorry, kind of my bad habit, coz not many people really want to know about the setup & how I made this photo before I got DD. So hereby, I want to redempt myself.

SETUP :
- Canon Powershot A70
- Lens Adapter LA-DC52C
- Reversed Yashica ML50mm f/1.9 SLR Lens
- Self-build male-to-male ring coupler

HOW :
- How? I usually go hunting in the morning, bugs are still resting so make me easy to shoot them
- 12mm focal length is it possible? Yes, Reversed Lens Technique. This technique is widely used (a.k.a Macro for the Poor)

Daily Deviation

What kind of alien is this? The detail, the separation of the green against red and the pin sharp focus in Fly :: Close Up by ~patul make this everyday alien a true work of art! (Suggested by ~ph0enix and Featured by `serpentinekiss)

Holy macro! :wow: God, I so wish my macro's turned out half as good as this but I can't work my focus real well :lol: BUt man, this is so amazing! I've seen macro's of flies before that were great but this beats anything I've ever seen! The detail in it's eyes is so perfect. You can see all the little dots that you'd only see in fly documentries or in the movie "The Fly"

Love how the little guy... or big guy... fills up the frame. The colours are amazing as well. So vibrant especially the green and the red-orange of his eyes.

Wow... kind of speechless. :)

One of the shots that I wish I would have taken.
But unfortunately I neither have a macro lens, nor the patience to get away with such a shot.
Well, I've set hours in the same location, waiting for the right light but luckily sceneries do not have a tendency to move around.
The highest respect goes out to you for coming up with this subject and for getting a pristine shot like this.
Nature at its best...
