famas, i know this has prob been asked a million times, but what lens did you use and how far away from the subject is the front of the lens?

Really lovin macro, got some cheapo extension rings, but cant see me getting anything like that :(
 
hey wedge, lens is the tokina 100mm 2.8 on its own, working distance from front of the lens was probably 25-30cm on the darter, and 15-20cm on the damsel fly.
i've never really had a massive issue with working distance, even when stacking a set of extension tubes and a x2 converter when the working distance is around 2-3cm, getting low and moving very very slowly has worked for me so far. my hands and knees are always muddy :)

Ask your old man if he knew a steel erector called Andy Pollock, a bearded Scots man that loved his cider. :D

Oh sorry to hear that, Andy is gone too, stomach cancer took him about 6 years ago now. He had loads of pics of building that bridge too, especially one where a crane fell over. :o
