Re: Bees and wasps No4
Nicely done. Perhaps the wasp was about to take off.

Re: wide angle macro: a new 3-D printed adapter for lens combo
instead of using a CCTV lens and projecting its focal plan with a microscope lens I could use a full frame fish-eye and project its focal plan with a macro lens. What would be the difference? Smaller DOF? That was somewhat a variation tried from a previous link: https://petapixel.com/2020/01/27/bui...

Re: Mantis eye-cleaning brush
Cool stuff, Rik!! =D> The edges on the one side does give the impression of the brush hairs being like a lot of small scrapers. In the lower mag shots, pre-cleaning, I think I see that the bristles are a little bit hooked on the end too. One has to wonder about how this works on such a small scale. ...

Re: Common Lizards Sun Basking
Well done! It is so interesting that you can get several lizards in one frame. Perhaps they are gathering together to later spend the winter.

Re: A few shots from Wyoming
Well done! I like your style. I don't know why the pictures here come out in a smaller size format. My solution has long been to put pictures into my Flickr page, and then use the Share tool to post them here.

Re: wide angle macro: a new 3-D printed adapter for lens combo
Here is an example of a CS mount fisheye lens. It may be that the quality of these mounts is higher than the smaller 12mm thread lenses, but I don't know. It is a bigger lens, though I think not nearly as big as the picture implies. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FWRBPXP/?coliid=IDTP2YGNQYM73&colid=1V...

Re: wide angle macro: a new 3-D printed adapter for lens combo
I got better results with crop sensor in that I could get rid of the vignetting. The quality of the cctv lenses probably varies a lot, and I suspect (with very little experience, actually) that if one goes for a more extreme wide angle fish-eye cctv lens like 180^o, the quality goes down. I used 3 o...

Re: wide angle macro: a new 3-D printed adapter for lens combo
That is great! Thank you for the update on that. So what he has shown is that you can put in a macro lens directly onto a camera, and adapt a Raynox and then the CCTV lens on that.

Re: Mixed Medley Macro
I can also add that there is an interesting thing about the sharp-tailed bee. Although it is a leaf-cutter bee, it is a kleptoparasitic species, meaning that it does not make its own nest. Rather, it locates the nest hole of another leaf-cutter bee, and it lays an egg inside of it.

Re: Spider Belly
Very nice! We have the same species of spider. It is so amazing how they can make this small orb web across the cup of a curled leaf.
