Praying Mantis photos

[Jeff120]

Jeff, when you say the focal distance of the lense is 1 inch, does that mean you can get within 1 inch of the subject and the camera will still focus?

Yes, its the distance to subject.

Great series Jeff! I was at my cousin house before and saw a praying mantis outside his house. Wanted to take a pic but didn't have my external flash with me.

By the way, what camera did you use?

This was a Canon XTi.

Came across this today and thought it was neat.



It's a pic entered into a Nikon small world contest. Caption said it was 2 mosquito larvae in a droplet of water - laser triggered high speed macrophotography

That Larvae shot is pretty cool, little guy's are about to make a splash landing!
