I love these. A year ago, before I'd heard of sundews, I'd have thought these were made up martian plants. Sure are purdy.

 

[petmantis]

Wow!!!! What camera are you using, larry?! Those are incredible!

 

[technoracer]

[Clue]

What Drosera is that?

Oh, nice pictures, too.

Wow, those are just great! I can't stop looking at that second one

Now here is your next mission, should you chose to accept it!
Get up close like that, remove the dew... and do a time lapse of the dew formation, I would love to see that!! Great work.

You are NOT a very good teacher. I tried your methods and my pictures do NOT turn out like this! I mean I try every day!

These are amazing. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have a Canon Rebel XTi and I'm using a 1:14 f=55 mm.

Is it me or can you see the cells in that last picture.

Wow, those are just great!

Agreed! I'm guessing that these are not the 1st pics you've ever taken .....

I'm using a Canon 40D, but that really doesn't matter. What's more important is the lens, the mp-e 65. I think I'll add extension tubes to this lens for even crazier magnification!

First 2 pics are pygmies, 3rd is regular capensis, 4th is capensis alba. I'll post up more pics soon, glad you all like them.

That's an awesome macro lens. I would buy a Canon body just to use that lens

You can probably pick up a set of the Minolta close-up 55mm lenses for a song. You need a 55 to 58mm step ring but those are easy and cheap enough to get.
