This is a cloudless sulphur caterpillar that was feeding on a cassia tree in my back yard. These are interesting creatures; while feeding on the green leaves, they are green but become yellow when feeding on the trees yellow flowers. Shooting this little fellow was a challenge given that I was using a manual focus lens on a very small critter on a windy day not to mention that his camouflage made him difficult to find to begin with
Shot with P1 DF, 120 f/4 Macro, and P40+...the images are progressive crops shot from ~ 2 feet away.
Thanks for looking

How big are the critters?
It seems that the cropped sensor area used might be about 18 * 24 mm or micro 4/3?

I am putting together a medium format macro system, using a Macro-Digitar 120 for about 1:3 to 3:1 and a Sinaron Digital macro 5.6/120 CMV macro 120 for 1:5 to 1: 1 or 2:1, and a set of Zeiss Luminar lenses for 1:1 to 40:1, but, for live insects I was thinking about using my Micro-Niokkor 200 on my GH2, as it would give about the same DOF as I think you have here?

Just a snapshot as I switched to the RZ now, my daughter spotted a 'princess' and wanted a picture with her. I think this was about the 6th shot on that body.



And my daughter being very excited about the whole thing.

Your daughter is precious! Good for you for capturing these moments!
My son is now 23, a Lieutenant in the Air Force and I do remember some of the precious moments of his childhood.
Looking at these photos brings me back to those special days. Thank you!! :thumbs:

Kind regards,
Darr

Hello Dick,
These guys are about 1/4 inch in diameter and 1 1/2 long. While what you are considering sounds like a great way to go,I have been very happy with my PhaseOne set up...now if I could just get the wind to cooperate.:banghead:

One solution for the wind is to use a few flashes - but this would be easier with an assistant to hold the main light.

one of the monstrous old buildings in the navy yard; many photos taken in there, but it is about to be "modernized"

a pastoral scene, Brooklyn version; sketching houseboats on the Gowanus Canal, reminds one of Venice, eh? ;)

Here are a some images from my recent trip to Denmark. All shot with the RZ67 Pro II and 65mm W.

I guess this is one of these images almost every landscape photographer has already done. But it is particularly significant to me as it taught me to focus on foreground objects more often. I totally underestimated the OOF region.
Next time I'll be focussing hyperfocally.

Acros 100



Provia 400
