what aamazing focus and details

its wonderful

especially the lighting where it highlights certain parts of this insect and the eye is wonderfully focused as well, it ssoemthing you would find in a book

Wow, this is a really great close-up shot. I could see the fine details on this beetle especially on the 'fur' and the eyes! His eyes looks like fly eyes!

I really wonder how did you take this, you were using f/16.0 yet you still got a shallow (but spot on) dof. If it were my cam, even f/8.0 would give me a really deep dof. Sorry for the question, I'm still a newbie in this ;) Anyway this is a great job from you!

Yeah, it's one of the cutest beetles I've ever seen. And comparatively big.
:iconsilentwaters:
pfff... also das Facetten-Auge is ja ordendlich scharf :wow:
der rest is halt leider nimma ganz so scharf :(
und die Koernung bzw. die Noise im Bild is auch ein wenig, aber nur ganz wenig ;) , stoerend... find alt ich...
es lenkt zwar nicht vom Motiv ab, aber mir is halt trotzdem aufgfallen... :blahblah:

:nod: I bet he's never heard of shaving ;)

Mit der geringen Tiefenschärfe muss man bei dieser Vergrößerung glaub ich leben. Ich war eh schon auf Blende 16, und viel mehr geht selbst mit Blitz nicht. Siehst eh, ich war auch schon auf ISO 400 und es rauscht bereits genug... Ich weiß echt nicht, was man da technisch dagegen tun könnte. Ich bin eigentlich schon zufrieden, wenn der Fokus am Auge ist. Ich krieg ja wirklich nur ein paar mm scharf hin, und bei der kleinsten Bewegung ist der Fokus dann ganz woanders *sigh*

Thank you! Flies and beetles both have compound eyes, that's why they look similar.
I don't know which camera you use. I only know that I got a much deeper dof with my digital point-and-shoot camera too. I'm not very good at explaining technical stuff so I'm not sure if I get this a 100% right, but generally the dof gets shallower the longer the focal length, so with a 105mm lens I'll get a shallower dof than with a shorter lens. Also, the shorter the distance between lens and subject, the shorter the dof will be. There's a short explanation of how different factors influence dof here: [link]
