    Handheld Extreme Macro

    Friends, this one was just a trial shot - I was trying some experiments on handheld extreme macros (5x magnification).

    Used a ring flash to capture the details of the body of this tiny house cob. The body length was less than 5 mm!

    Something to notice here: somehow this cob had seven legs; one of those seven is missing - maybe lost during any encounter. :o

    Your comments and suggestions are most welcome!

    Santanu, The BG color is great and the cob? looks pretty sharp-it might be more interesting on a diagonal.Very neat!!

    He's definitely missing a leg, isn't he!

    Love that BG color...how'd you get that?

    I think more DOF would work better but you sure got some great detail on some of his body! I would agree that turning him a little more on a diagonal would give an even stronger composition and including the missing part of his "backside" would have helped, too.

    As far as experiments go, I say keep going!

    Hey Santanu, I think it looks pretty cool, it looks like it was shot with a lensbaby.
