    Thanks very much. :) Came across this guy while out exploring in the back garden with my little one.

    Here are some of the details of the shot.
    The Camera: Canon EOS 40D
    The Lense: Canon MP-E 65mm 1-5x Macro
    Shutter Speed: 1/40 sec
    Aperture: f/9.0
    Focal Length: 65 mm
    ISO Speed: 1600
    Flash: Off, Did not fire

    Basically, while taking this shot my main concerns were, Depth of Field and Shutter Speed. The only way to achieve a reasonable combination of these without using flash was to bump up the ISO to 1600.

    The wind was a bit strong so i clasped the plants stem with my left hand while resting the camera on my left arm. A bit awkward but worthwhile in the end.

    Not much PP done on this really. Into Photoshop and reduced noise with Noiseware Pro. Then ran FMs velviavision to give the image a little punch, then used USM to sharpen it a little.

    Can barely believe that's 1/40 second it's so sharp. Incredible shot, well done.

    Kyle, you're cracking me up..... :)

    Hey Clicky. Both the plant and camera were being held and supported by my left hand. Thus longer shutter speeds can be had.
