Hi Alice, I actually use a screw on attachment to the lens (manufactured by Vision Optics which allows macro shots, but also converts a 28mm image to (I think)about 18 or 20mm (almost a fisheye perspective), which means I can capture wider landscapes using a standard 28mm, I have to be careful using it in that capacity as it really throws some curvature of the earth into the mix, and you can see considerable loss of clarity and focus on the edges of the shot.

Hi Mike,
I like this perspective very much! It is quite original, and the dandelion seeds scattered around the dragonfly make it a piquant image also.
What macro attachment do you use with your *ist-D? I have just bought an *ist-DS, which I believe is the next-gen. I'm still experimenting with it, and using my old manual lenses, one of which is a KAX x2 teleconverter, which also can use macro - time for me to give it a go!
Best wishes, Alice.

Thanks Chelsea, I think this one was gone by the time I got to him, and I only had a couple of seconds before the spider was out and wrapping him up, I was fascinated, that shot will come later tonight when I can upload again

Thanks Joggie, I have a polarizer but not for that attachment, I should probably get one and do as you suggest, the place where I shot this has heaps and heaps of spider webs and insects.. good hunting grounds

Interesting image Mike, especially since one can barely see the spider web. I thought a polarizer would bring out the blue in the sky an with slightly darker, more saturated tones this can be outstanding. Kind regards
Joggie

Wonderful shot, good focus and exposure, nice clear background. That must be a strong web to hold a dragonfly of that size. Knowing that dragonflies can eat over 200 mosquitoes per day, I've been known to rescue them from these types of situations....AFTER having taken the shot...

Excellent macro, Mike.
Sounds like the poor thing was 'captured' by something far worse than a camera!!
Kind regards, Chris
