45. Trying different shutter speeds

46. Going for a zoomed out effect

47.Loved it, experimenting with more of this effect

48. Too red I guess.

More night macro shots taken at Lower Peirce.
Equipment used:
Nikon D80
50mm 1.4 AIS (I really gotta get the 1.8 ...Autofocus would help a LOT!)
Raynox DCR 250
Inbuilt flash, Manual mode, varying power from 1/4 to 1/16 depending on the subject.
Milk bottle diffuser.

56. My favorite little Derbid bug.

57. Too bad its wings are a little folded in. Would have loved to capture it like I had last time.

58. Original uncropped version(I see some dust specks on the upper right)

Up next...the ever popular Telamonia spider.

59. Kept moving around a lot, this one.

60.Observing the leaf???

61. Looking at the camera.

62. Plotting? Look at its front two legs rubbing against each other...evil spider.

63. Bumped up the colors to make the picture more vibrant.

thanks wallace... DIY stuff usually helps, but you do have to spend a little on the camera and lenses.
