I take it the bug won. :)

You can see the texture of the eyes... 1/256 that is a fast shutter speed. Did you have to be as fast with actually pushing the button or did it hang out there for a while to win the contest? :)

No actually, I always win as they fly away after a while :) It wasn't that inert as you may imagine :)

As for the 1/256 shutter, well, it's necessary to say the least. The lens I used allows 1:1 to 5:1 magnification. From 2x mag. on every single movement of the subject or of yourself is noticeable. This was taken at 3x. Plus, I used a macro flash... so the 1/256 are kind of standard.

This sounds like a serous hobby or something you do for money. :)

I just know enough to sound like I know a lot more. :)

I don't think I would be that upset over it myself once I was covering my bills. :)
