Up Close - 抜殻

Nelson, New Zealand

Panasonic Lumix GX1
Tamron SP MF 500mm F8 Reflex (55B)
F8, 1/125, ISO-160

I found this cicada shell in garden.  Instead of using macro lens, I grabbed this mirror lens.  it was surprisingly well balanced.    I used tripod because it was bit windy for this kind of shot to do with handhold especially with 1000mm/F8 equivalent to 35mm full flame.
 
GX1 + $20 mount adapter + Tamron SP 500mm (reflex) 
[PS: 8/Feb]: Oh and forgot to say that I was shooting about 2m (or less) away from the subject.

    Good experiment but sharpness of result didn't impress. Is it maximum sharpness of this system or windy weather consequences?

      I agree with you about sharpness of this.
      It is basically the shutter speed is not fast enough ( 1/125). I should have shooting in manual mode instead of aperture priority.
