This is a shot of up
to 1.7x on the sensor for which I used my Canon 500D closeup filter. I
keep it in my shirt pocket so that I can add it to the lens when I need
it. I am learning to know whether I need it by just looking at the
distance from the lens. I can almost see the inner zone where I need
it.

I have some difficulty including the whole damselfly when using the 500D.

I have found that I
must be careful about over exposure when using the 500D. Since I am
closer to the subject I must dial in a smaller aperture. I generally
shoot at f/22 or even f/27, the smallest aperture on that lens. If I
still have overexposure, I dial in negative FEC, flash exposure
compensation. The last line of defense for over exposure is to reduce
the ISO from 400 down to 100.

I have discovered
that I can manage to include the entire damselfly by getting to the
distant extreme of focus with the 500D. It seems to me that this picks
up where the Sigma 70 - 300 mounted on a Sigma 1.4x converter leaves off
at its closest focus.
