Craigspics: Lea the Terminator

Thought I would try my hand at drawing a little and turn Lea (daughter in-law) into a terminator, she liked it, and I don't ever post pics of people if they don't like them, so tell me what you think?

Equipment and Info

The photos I post here are taken with Sony Cameras, an Alpha 230 and an Alpha 580. I use 18-55mm, 55-200mm kit lenses, a Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens, Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 and Minolta 50mm and 28mm prime lenses reversed for close up/macro work, along with a macro bellows and a focusing rail and trigger with a wireless camera remote. My tripods are a Induro A 413 and a manfrotto 190Pro. I also use some other cheaper tripods like a velbon CX 686 and an old blacks metal tripod i bought back in 1986, which still works, I use these for holding various things such as flash units or holding or draping a background on or maybe a laptop stand out in the field. My flash units I use are a minolta 3600 HSD, Vivitar 285 HV, I use a dedicated flash cord for my minolta 3600 flash, a flash wave 2 Wireless radio slave and a couple of optical peanut slaves for the others. I also use a lumiquest soft box for my macro work.
My macro photos or should I say most of my photos are not cropped, I like to get my shots in camera and I rarely do focus stacks, only if I think the photo really could benefit from it but I really don't believe it's true to photography, but if I do I do it manually in photoshop. I do sharpen, saturate and clean up dirty sensor spots but I try to keep it to what I remember the actual subject looked like.
The insects I photograph that I capture, I always release where I found it.
If I photograph an Insect that can sting such as a bee or wasp, I place in a special container that I made for photographing them in, it keeps them and I safe and lets me get close and I can shoot them at different angles.To add to this list as of 2015, for portrait work now and the flash units for insects are 4 Yongnuo YN-560II, 2 Menik SW 400 mono lighs and a Mettle 600 AD mono light with battery pack. Modifiers are a 60 inch Lumahawk octabox, 2 24 inch softboxes and 2 12x56 inch stripboxes with grids. Then of course many more stands, a few air cushioned and some not. Also a reflector stand and 43 inch 5 in one reflector.
I think that I got everything here, If anyone has a question I would be glad to answer, you can leave a comment or email me at cj2492@yahoo.com or craigspics.tk@gmail.com.
Thank you for your visit.
