Absolutely stunning shot! The focus in this is absolutely amazing! i love the texures that have been captured in this shot showing what the human eye cannot see! I love how the ladybird almost looks like it's sparking as well! I love this shot!

Aww, ladybird! What's the fuzzay thing she walking on?
Also, I've read good things about the Raynox macro attachments. They're not "cheap"; I think they're 3 or 4 element lenses. That's what I'm going to use when I start getting into (i.e. get money) macrophotography.

The plant where the ladybug walk on is a old Physalis.
After that shot I bought a macro lens, the Tamron 90mm and I just love it. But I also love to shot with the cheap closeupfilter (+4) and the Nikkor 50mm 1.8. That composition makes great effects.

I never would have guessed you didn't have a macro lens! Fantastic job. I absolutely love the detail.
I have a Nikon D40x and I love it. I have never seen the close up filters locally though and there are so many out there when I search online that I never know what to buy. Would you be willing to share the brand that you use? I would really like to get a set for my camera since a $500+ macro lens is not in my future

Until I get my macro lens in January I only shot with this filters, but now I love my lens
Sorry I canΒ΄t tell you a name of the producer, I donΒ΄t find it. They were so low in prize that there stands no producer. IΒ΄m so sorry, that I canΒ΄t help you in this way. I got them on ebay and there was no producers name too

what closeupfilter do you use? thats amazing I dont get such results with my +2 and +3 on top of each other

mh, I donΒ΄t know which one I used here. I have a +1,+2,+4,+10 closeupfilters. the +4 and +10 I used usually. I think I worked with the +4 here and that is not the complete photo, I cropped it (maybe itΒ΄s the 100% view).

You shouldn't have told anyone it was a cheap close up macro filter... they'd never have known. Which makes me wonder about other cheap filters? Great capture, and composition.
