Ultimamente il tempo per fare macro è sempre meno e anche gli stimoli non erano tanti perciò ho pensato di ritornare ai vecchi close-up con focale lunga, giusto per provare appunto ad avere qualche stimolo in più. Inizialmente avevo pensato di riprendere il vecchio Tamron 180mm ma poi mi sono orientato sull'IRIX 150 considerata sia l'ottima fama sia il fatto che è anche l'ultima lente macro con focale lunga che ancora si può acquistare nuova, tra l'altro ad un prezzo a dir poco ottimo! Ho preso la versione per Canon EF e, per questa foto, l'ho adattato con il Viltrox EF-L sulla S5D. Un uscita veloce stamattina per provare la nuova lente e oltre ad aver fatto qualche scatto ad alcune libellule, ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare questa Mantide religiosa che si è prestata a farmi da modella. L'ingrandimento è molto inferiore alle mie macro solite ma la tecnica è sempre la stessa. Questo è un FS di 16 scatti effettuato con luce naturale.

No arachnids, but the result does not change even if you change the subject, always a master photo.
