2012 Fave Macro Images

2012 is coming to an end soon and as usual, I went through all my 2012 images and came out with this mosaic.

Again, created using Big Huge Labs' Mosaic Maker.

Only one new species of lantern bug for 2012, but I did manage to find an adult Zanna sp. so it wasn't too bad at all.

All taken with a 40D. Mostly full flash with Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens, and Sigma 150mm f/2.8 AF APO EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens for natural light for bigger subject.

Full flash macro shot with an MP-E65, Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash, and Concave Diffuser. 

Natural light macro shot with a 150mm F2.8 (with or without a 1.4x teleconverter).

Should you like to check out any image in the mosaic above, just use the links below. For example, if you want to find out more or view bigger image of the trilobite beetle, a quick count will tell you that it's image #10. You can then click on #10 above and that will take you to that trilobite image in my Flickr Stream.

Melvyn's Macro Rig

Melvyn Yeo's Macro Rig.

His rig consists of the Canon 5DM2, Canon 100mm L macro lens, Extension Tubes, Raynox DCR 250 closeup filter, 270ex flash and  DIY diffuser.

You can check out more of his works on his DeviantArt page here and Facebook page here.

270EX on the hotshoe with a reflective board to push the light downward, and diffused by a huge concave diffuser attached to the front of the lens. No ETTL cord needed!

Melvyn's macro rig, more macro rigs 20121217_233132-copy
The foam thickness is about 3 to 4mm.
