Somehow I can just see you with large lens and macro then a telescope in front and then a microscope in front of that and on to infinity...How in the world you can get so close in with such clarity is well beyond my gear of any tim3e...Fine image Joey!

Hi Joe,
I am still considering whether I should post my 'macro' shot of this same Migrant Hawker. If you remember I took a few with 400DO + 2x extender, minimum focus distance 3.5 meters;o). The result is not bad. Obviously this is how it should be done. It is amazing how much small details can be captured when you know what you are doing and what gear to use. Excellent, excellent work as always!

Cheers

Hi Joe

A great close-up of this gorgeous migrant hawker, mate!
I really like your rather original POV here but i think you were also a bit lucky here to find it so calm and cooperating :) I don't know exactly how you do it, but i usually take my first shot at f/8 and them move up to a bigger f-stop and implicitly a longer shutter speed if i get the chance :)

Anyway, the result here is excellent and the magnification level reached is terrific!
The colors are charming but those famous textures from their eyes are the ones that grab the attention. Great work in retaining those!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Joe,

You are amazing!! A fantastic, perfectly symmetrical macro of this fascinating Hawker. It seems unbelievable that you can capture such perfect details so close-up. Wonderful colors and such a variety of them. The face is phenomenal. Tell me, do you ever have a reject?

Una toma nada habitual Joe, de gran habilidad y de buena técnica. Impresionantes detalles y como no colores.
Un excelente trabajo de macro: Veo que dominas muchas disciplinas y empiezas a ser un artista destacado dentro de TK.
