Some new jumper shots

[yeatzee]

Im doing a one lens for one whole month, a picture a day thing and decided to use my newest lens the fairly rare Pentax F 135mm F/2.8.

I haven't done macro's in forever so i thought I'd give it a shot with this lens and a reversed 50mm...

almost all consist of several image stacks.

My normal macro flash setup had to be macgyvered to fit the 135mm and 50mm reversed with rubber bands, but overall im pleased with the results.

Sure

I feed mine BB's

Can they handle BBs? They're tiny . BTW we need to play live sometime.

Mine can

They can take prey much larger than them no problem.... I once had one go for a BB fly which was much larger than itself. The fly attempted to fly away and got off of the ground for a second with it! :lol:

And yeah I know. I haven't touched COD in months
