I was recently given this awesome snake to take care of and im not quite sure what im doing. First and foremost, an ID would be wonderful (I live in SoCal).... excuse the cellphone shots, but there it is. He/She has no problem with me holding it, and he/she seems to really enjoy climbing up...

Long story short I was given a tarantula by a neighbor who couldn't keep it.Considering im not taking care of any inverts other than a couple jumping spiders and have several empty mantis homes, I thought ok why not? Here's a quick phone image for the ID. my newest pet! by yeatzee (now 17...

:) taken in the early morning hours (hence the sluggishness) with a reversed $10 componon 80mm F/5.6 on bellows. Pentax's implementation of video is terrible, which I honestly dont care about, but for the rare instance like this it would have been nice to own a MKII 5D ;)

Velvet ant (wasp) by yeatzee (now 17, but still learning), on Flickr 77 image stack. She's extremely dirty because prior to her death she would bury herself under sand every night. I kept it true to life because of this, so here she is.

Assassin bug by yeatzee (now 17, but still learning), on Flickr 2 image panorama, roughly 70 exposures per final image. F/5.6 with the el nikkor/bellows and the three new jansjo desk lamps used. Quite an accomplishment, and Im VERY pleased to have finally done it :) 100% crop and another...

My parents had some friends give them this beetle saying it was jewelry as a joke but im sure they were surprised by my parents reaction :lol: Apparently they got all excited to see it up close when I inevitably take a stack of it :lol: Here's the image, 130 shots stacked @ F/5.6...

As some of you know, im really into macro photography. Check out my flickr link in my signature to see some examples (might have to go through a few pages). I've been practicing a technique called deep stacking where you take usually 50-XXX images of an insect and combine them in a software to...

Well Tonight/this morning (3:43 AM here) I took my highest magnification "legitimate" shot yet :)It involved a fully extended pentax auto bellows II, several extension tubes, and a reversed Pentax F 28mm @ F/4 :cool: The shot is a relatively small stack of 31 images, and is not very sharp. At...

ID!? by yeatzee (now 17, but still learning), on Flickr Sorry for the phone camera shots! My friend found me this awesome beetle and I haven't a clue what it is. I need to know what it is and what is eats so i can keep it alive. Im about to leave for 2 weeks to utah and im leaving all of my...

Well despite not being finished thanks to a family member bumping the setup, I am incredibly pleased with the shot :) It was only meant as a test but wow! This is the most ordinary fly I could possibly find yet up this close its fascinating. I have a couple striped flies to try next 8) 60...

Well I was able to setup a legitimate stack today with my new linear stage :) Ok so here's stack #2 with the linear stage. All in all, from beginning of the shoot to now, it has taken something like 8 hours of work. Long story short I bumped the setup ruining the stack so i had to start over...
