One from my older archives. Made this image of mating insects (Leatherwing insects?) a year back (2007 summer actually).
That was when I had my new Nikkor 105mm VR micro & was very excited about it. I used to shoot hand-held most of the times & never once thought of using tripod for macro shots (assuming that it might compromise on angle/position etc). What a mistake that was ! But I soon learnt that for tack sharp images one must use a tripod & more so for macros ! These days I use my tripod 99% of the times.
Techs:
Nikon D70s + Nikkor 105mm VR micro + Handheld
(Sorry, I don't have the EXIF details)
