Ha ha... that's a guess which is way off the mark mate!

Here's the answer -


This is a test shot with my newly acquired DCR250. This is taken with Minolta 70-210 @ 210mm, used an external flash, didn't diffuse the light.

DCR250 with my beercan is super sharp Ants and butterflies, here I come!

I saw this on FB but could not reply on time, I dont think anyone would connect it to anything other than a cookie or biscuit. Its super sharp, waiting for your tiny little creature hunting series

Ha ha.. here's a housefly.

f/22, 1/15s, ISO1600 (multi) @ 200mm with DCR250.

This is a handheld shot but I rested the lens on the surface.. Few of the camera features that helped to make this shot better

- EVF - great use while shooting macros like this. You can't bend down and see look through an OVF, plus I can adjust my focus manually to the highest precision.

- DOF preview. I would have initially shot this with the lens more open, only to realize the DOF is too shallow. Once you get the subject in focus, you just need to press DOF preview to see what you will actually get.

- Multi-frame NR - this is shot in ISO1600 to compensate for the narrow aperture, and multi-frame reduced the noise very well.

Looks like a meaner version of the Boeing AH-64 Apache Attack helicopter!

^ nah.. it looks like a fatter version of the Alouette II a.k.a Cheetah used by the Army Aviation


@Clevermax: awesome shot mate!

in the FB picture, why are you holding the lens so tight?

I can't touch the fly but i wanted to tightly hold it there to pose for me until i was done, so i grabbed the lens tightly instead

ISO is a little too high. Looking at the shutter speed ISO 1600 or even 800 would have sufficed in this case.
