Yes I had my hand rested on the ground and the lens front touching the floor - took 3 or 4 shots in all. I had another with the entire body in focus but this one looked better to me.

Very nice. I have the same body, but you are much better at handling noise than I am. When I try shooting at this high and ISO the noise is terrible. What is your secret?


No secret! Above iso 400 the 550D just spits out noise in my opinion but in this case it's all masked by the similar colored background and some quick post processing on the eyes and body. I upped the vibrance and luminance a touch in Aperture and also upped the shadows as it was quite darker originally. Finally a simple sharpen and that's it! Though I hope to one day start a thread like the ones you see every once in a while "My new 5D m iii just came in the mail!" :)

I'm not a foo!
Take that back.

Love bug photos especially when there is perfect symmetry in their legs.

A very nice macro. This is a far more better lens to make closeups than my 500mm.
