A few of today's macro shots to test smugbug, I mean smugmug hosting (courtesy of Andy).
Worked it out at last.

Not sure if my eyes are deceiving me but I'm pretty sure if you look at the abdomen of this hoverfly you can see the underside of the outer skin through it.

Aewsome stuff.:thumb It almost looks like there's even a smaller bug on the hover fly's face.

You pass the test with flying colors...these are amazing shots.


Which lens did you use here? I see it is 105 Macro--but which company--canon, Sigma, other?

The last frame is wonderful and I love the color contrast and DOF
