Artist's Comments

Apparently there is more interesting stuff going on below a horse fly than above. Hence it makes sense to have higher density of photoreceptors on the bottom of an eye.





It has the most obscene proboscis I've ever seen on a bug (and of course I had to bring it up and draw your attention to it!).

And the award for most irritating bug in the universe goes to... the horse fly!!
Evolution on the other hand kinda rocks though. Bifocal eyes kinda look hot. I want a pair :o

Awesome shot by the way, as always.

OK, it's one of the oldest photos in my folio, but I'll try: Canon EOS 10D (or was it D10?), Canon 100mm macro USM, Speedlite 420EX mounted (uch, it's a bit tricky...) on the Tripod Mount Ring B, through a piece of bent aluminium with holes innit, so I could rotate the flash around the lens...
I think I used lumiquest Softbox, or home-made soft box of some kind.

ISO 100, shutter 1/200s, F-14 or 16.
:iconthemadtracker:
Cool setup indeed!
especially the rotating flash.
I love your work man!!
