Check out my insect photography! - GoFuckYourself.com

Cyandin · 05-15-2009, 12:07 PM

These were my submissions to the Entomological Society of America's 2010 "World of Insects" photo calendar.

All were shot on my Nikon CoolPix S10VR. I'm pretty happy with the shots I've managed to get with a camera that has such a dismally slow focus time, and I can't wait to see what I can do with the right gear.

Photo pro's / all, critique away.

No bad, uphill battle though, with people using tilt-shift and proper macro lenses to utilise DOF to their advantage..

Deej · 05-15-2009, 12:23 PM

Agreed 100%. My hope is that the combination of not just submitting the super cliche species, good framing of the pic, along with good focus and background will get me a spot.

Thanks! Though that is of course the larval stage, its urticating spines are very interesting to see up close (without touching them, that is).

All this zooming will help you snap a photo of your cock, is that it?

I've got a very large book with gorgeous macrophoto's of tropical beetles and their faces. The closer up you see insects, the more alien they appear.

Most of the more common texas species are not nearly as grandiose as the African and Asian genera, but I will keep my eyes out, as they are most active in summertime.

It's one of a small group of butterfly larvae with urticating spines, which translates to "really fucking painful to get stung by".

Yep, I'm in Austin. If you look at the full size image, the individual wing scales look like a gorgeous mosaic.

Now I need to figure out what type of setup is going to really take my shots to the next level. My preliminary research indicates that to get a nice DSLR and superior macro lens, I'm gonna need to throw down around $2k at LEAST.

NextBigTube · 05-16-2009, 12:03 PM

Honestly I expected to get creeped out, but those are really beautiful pics

Looks like the Canon 5D Mark II and the 180mm 3.5 is the combination you should have. That will be $4150 for the pair.
