Cool ! Long time since I've photographed mantids now - since I stopped keeping them. To much work to keep food for them (I almost only kept Empusidae) at the end. So having to breed flies and moths in the winter was to much of a hassle. But, will definatly try some mantids on again later !

Gonyosoma oxycephalum

It's been to long since I updated all my picture threads, so since it's New Years Eve I'll try to update them more often in 2011 :)

Finally a update : Rhacodactylus chahoua Rhacodactylus ciliatus

Since I've already started a thread with my chameleon pictures from Madagascar, I thought I'd share my other herptile shots from Madagascar with you too (with some lemurs as an extra treat :) ) Boophis madagascariensis Mantella madagascariensis Aglyptodactylus sp. Uroplatus sikorae...

And finally a new picture has been edited.. Brookesia superciliaris

European Common Adder - Vipera berus Photographed "in-situ" in Norway

The reason for the overwhelming Canon-users in this genera is that Nikon hasn't had competetive camera bodys for this use after the digital era - but, with the D3 they are actually gradually getting bigger and bigger in this genre. I actually photograph norwegian top flight football/soccer with...

Remember that the D5000 will not give you autofocus with AF-D lenses, and all lenses that is not HSM from Sigma

I love the D80 as I've had it my self a couple of years ago (and it's a Nikon :) ) And the ergonomy is far better than the 450D. But, what about the D200 ?

Wasn't pointing at you ;)

Not more than those who post all their animals in their signature I guess ;)

Offcourse I'm not hard to ask :D Nikon AF-D 35mm f/2 Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4 Nikon AF-D 85mm f/1.8 Nikon AF-S 60mm f/2.8 Micro Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro HSM Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 HSM + flashes (studio, macro and "ordinary") Teleconvertor, extensiontubes etc Hm - I really thought it was more ( :)...

don't get me started ;)

In the second hand market the best you can do these days are a Nikon D300 (imho) www.thorhakonsen.com (pics taken mostly with D300)

The one that gets 94 points is the "old" 100mm f/2.8 USM, not the new IS ;)

I agree that Tokina and Sigma make very good macro lenses, I even use a Sigma 150mm my self - and that probably is the best macro there is for my use (on a FF body) But, it may be that the Tokina is better than the equivalent Sony macro - but I seriously doubt it's better than the Canon 100mm...

The lenses is the MOST IMPORTANT thing for getting good pictures ! What new camera body you buy (Sony, Nikon, Canon, Olympus etc) really doesn't matter for the happy amateur. But remember, you buy into a system. Nikon and Canon are by far the biggest - and the has the most versatile lens and...

The only lenses I really ended up using on my trip was my Sigma 150mm macro and a 35mm f/2 wideangle. But I use a FX camera (D700) - so for you I would recommend a app 100mm macro for reptiles and either a 30mm f/1.4 normal or a zoom around 17-50mm f/2.8 for environment and stuff And I would...
