Yes they are the same. Duliticola hoiseni. Can be found in south east asia. Even more rare in SG coz we really short of forested area.

Not that hard but Duliticola are endangered species...we take great care not to disturb them and their habitat...

Duliticola aka Trilobite Beetle. This is how the complete beetle look like.

When we find subject. Usually, safety is the last thing we have in mind. :bsmilie: Something i found last night. Not something one get to see everyday. Usually, regretted never shot from a different angle. Hopefully can bump into another one soon. :sweat:

Digital zoom are no longer pixerated. Not the best but quite usable. 60mm 60mm with digital zoom

Glad you guys like it. But honestly, there are lots of much better macro shooter in the macro section. Still have way way to learn from them. iise7en - 60mm macro are excellent for family portrait too. I have friend who use it much more on portrait then macro.

Yes tat's a viper. Lenses just couple of inches away from subject...luckily i don't need to post this from Tan Tock Seng. :bsmilie: On a side note. The digital x2 zoom on the EM1 work above expectation. Those with 60mm macro can give it a try. Turn your 60mm to 120mm macro.

I usually leave it at 1:2.5 power for the flash. With FL300 build in diffuser on. It doesn't work all the time with that setting. Depending on gloss/matt surface, bright or dull color and distance from subject. Aperture wise, i usually leave it at F13 and 1/125 sec exposure. ISO500. This is...

Thanks. Glad you like it. Manual flash power used and needed to adjust the output depending on color and gloss/matt surface. The img below is easier to control because there wasn't much shiny object to cause hotspot.

Basic setup with FL300 because it can tilt. Home make diffuser. Never use Raynox coz abit too demanding for old man with shaky hands like me. Nothing to shout about img...acceptable for amateur i guess.

Happen quite a few times om my EM5 with 60mm. Sometime power on/off will do. Few times, it doesn't work and I had to power off and removed the lens.

EM1, 60mm Macro, ISO500, F13, 1/125, Flash 1/2.5 FL300. Shot in JPEG, str out of camera with slight sharpening.

Never shoot anything. Screen was blackout, couldn't see my subject. So I find a rock and sit inside trail reading PDF version of em1 manual. :bsmilie::bsmilie:

Ok found the ans myself. And for those who wish to know, it's menu--custom menu--disp/--live view boost. Turn it to on if you want a constant brightness regardless of f-stop and s.speed.

Think that what Nikon and Canon called it. When cranking up f stop or shuttle speed, the LCD brightness will correspond going dimmer. Are there anyway to turn this off? Shooting macro at f13, the LCD almost completely blackout. Strange I don't have to set this on the EM5.
