I'm really glad you like my photos! I use a Fujifilm FinePix S9500 (digital camera), a Raynox DCR-250 (macrolens) and a Soligor DG-340 AZ (external flash). Sometimes - like in this case - I throw a +2 Hoya lens into the mix. All post processing is done on a Mac in Photoshop CS2.

These shots were made lying in the mud with my knees and elbows on a plastic bag at a working distance of apprx 15 cm (front lens <-> subject). I guess the plastic bag makes the environment somewhat controlled :D but I always shoot in field and never use a tripod.

Here is a photo of my relatively inexpensive setup:


Best regards,
