This is the same insect taken at full magnification (12x optical, 4x digital) and I focused on where the antennae connect to his head. This Raynox lens gives such great detail! Hope you like these. Please leave a comment if you do.

Marvelous Macro
Here's a better example of what the Canon S3IS with the Raynox DCR-250 Macro add-on lens. The picture below was taken late Saturday night beneath the light on my deck. It was taken through the Raynox at 8x optical zoom and he is about 3/4 of an inch in length. Both of these shots can be clicked on for a larger image view without taking up your whole screen. Thanks to Terry Fletcher for his tutorial on how to implement thickbox.

Is that an insect aside ? !!!!!!
Very nice macro work - and the peacock feather too.
Gets a big thumbs-up from me, mate. And yes, Terry Fletcher is a legend.
Came over from David's blog. Only two words from me.
Wow. Incredible.
Yes, David, that is the exact same insect, but I zoomed in closer and focused solely on his head part. It is insane how some of these shots turn out. Thanks for the kudos on the peacock feather as well. I got that shot from the 2nd level of a barn, shooting down towards him. That shot is also full framed and uncropped.
@ golightly:

Came over from David's - that is amazing. What a camera! What a photographer! What a shot!

Crazycath,
Thank you for the wonderful comments. I guess every once in a while I find a gem of an opportunity and try to capture something cool to look at.
This new lens really lets you see the beauty of nature in the tiniest creatures, and that it didn't over look any details.
Regards,
John
I found the replayer on a forum. I think works pretty good for using it on blogs.
