Default Utlra-close closeups

Here're two photos that took some taking:

http://montana-riverboats.com/Pages/...cro-Trico.html

.....if anybody's interested in how to take photos this close, I put a
closeup ring on a
Nikon D70 and then mounted that to a PB6 Bellows, extended the bellows
as far out as it
would go, and then mounted a 105 macro lense, set to F32 with a three
second exposure, inside
a light tent.

Too bad you can't do that with waders on.
The Micro Trico is a minor miracle. I haven't found out who tied it
yet
(it's a borrowed fly). But it looks to me like it must have been tied
under a microscope.
This fly is so small it's hard to see in the palm of your hand.
