Reverse-mount ring came in today. 55mm on 68mm extension tube. This moth is a little larger than 1/4" from head to tail. Shot handheld with flash (1/8) at f/16, ISO 200.

Very nice and good dof! Do you know magnification ratio?
 
Solanum dulcamara L. Relative to our beloved chiles and a sweet looking flower.

Getting better results at close range. I still am not 100% happy but that always seems to be the case. :lol:

I do not know the ratio. All I know is that it does relatively the same thing as my 70-200mm setup and is much lighter.
 
@Nate: Is that an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail?
 
@PS: Post-production software. Something that can handle RAW file format. (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) Way more control over your images than letting your camera spit something out for you in jpeg format.
 
I may have switched to adobe RGB accidentally. I have to check after work today. Would that cause possible issues with my reds and some purples?

Adobe RGB is a larger color space than sRGB. You'll get more out of the Adobe RGB setting. I've switched to posting in sRGB with the profile embedded because I've seen issues with color on tablets and phones when posting in adobe RGB. However, when I was posting adobe RGB files I was not embedding the color profile... not sure if this would change things. It will only if the browser being used supports it. If you are shooting in jpeg using adobe RGB and aren't using software to save down to sRGB for web posts, then it is possible you'll see color variations that you might not like on different devices. Most browsers default to sRGB if the color profile is not embedded.
This isn't touching on monitor calibration on purpose since most people don't even know what that means.
 
Thanks.

Hopefully by the end of summer I will find time to dip into RAW and PP software

I have issues with reds sometimes,and certain purples. I'm sure there are some settings that I can adjust. Per usual,I bought a somewhat entry level product just incase I lose interest. That never is the case though!!! This model is OK,and my skill/knowledge low,but I feel limited in some instances. I may go for a D610 next year or high end DX model.
