some people might be interested how i edit my photo. i used acdsee to auto level the exposure. since my lighting is not yet perfect. then i also auto sharpen it. then i crop. and add my signature.

the gear i used is on the EXIF i post. i used eternal flash SB-800. with a pringle DIY bouncer. it did help to get a better exposure. but once my flash battery ge weaks. i will still need to photo edit.

my DSLR setting, for macro i use iso100. aperture i used f13 to f20. the only thing that help me shoot fast and easy is the AF-ON feature. I used AUTO-FOCUS. this seperate the AF from the shutter release button. thou my friend @stresskiller tells me to try MF. i might someday.

oh dont usually shoot burst mode. since it drains the battery. but sometimes i do. with burst shoot i can do photo stacking. the 2nd photo is photo stack with 2 shots.

Hi.
wow s it looks very perfect the image of that fly, you see that you had a lot of patience to take that photo, and of course in the Philippines I guess the season of heavy rains also comes to you and you must have your precautions.

Are you shooting canon? If so, check out Magic Lantern firmware, it has a Focus Trap option which is excellent for macro shooting.

that is a nice feature. sadly i not have canon. i am using nikon d80 and d71100. tnx for the info.
