Some macro...

[boblybill]

I was out shooting macro again. Man is it hard... blasted bugs don't want to stay still, wind likes to blow your subjects around, DOF is extremely small unless you use a tiny aperture which in turn means you have to get more light some how. But I got some I'm happy with...

6. Here's is what he would end up doing if I tried to get him to move to a better spot to be photographed...

I hope you enjoy!

Excellent shots, you guys have some weird and wonderful bugs over there.....

[boblybill]

Thanks Rene. You don't have weird bugs over there?

[Chris of Arabia]

That's the only sort of bug to have - weird ones. At least here they have enough sense to stay out of the sun, but that means you never see them to photograph.

Too right. As Miss Mia has often said, it's a love/hate relationship with the macro lens.

Would that be the middle leg he's throwing at you? :biglaugh:


Really like the bug's colors on #3.

I love #8! It looks like you are having more of a 'love' relationship with your macro lens! :lol:
