Technical Details:
Shot with Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM with Canon 50mm f/1.4 reversed. Magnification at image plane was 2.16x. Cropped from 10mm frame width to approx. 3.5mm. Lit with Sunpak 544 flash @ 1/8 power with LumiQuest 80-20 bouncer with gold insert installed.
About this shot:
This little guy was about 5mm long total. He came to investigate me while I varnished doors. I got him to hold still as he crouched in the corner of one of the panel insets in the door. I got three shots, and he had enough of me. I did have to shoo him away so I didn't spray him with varnish though, LOL.
On loading the shot I noticed that his (very convex) eyes reflected an ultra-wide-angle view of his world, including the lens mount of the 50mm lens and the flash head. I thought this would make a nice, subtle shot for the "mirrors" challenge.
