Fun With Macros

Lots of great photos here!

@ Knorp, the backlit 'droopy' poppy is wonderful!

Just came across these dragonflies today while out for a walk in the dark, cloudy/rainy weather we are having...can't wait for better weather!
:thumbup: Beautiful shots, Neil. Damsel- and dragonflies are my favourite critters.

I'm 'suffering' in particular from windy weather conditions here.
Almost impossible to get anything properly sharp and/or in focus.

Thank you and kind regards.

Actually, they are Damselflies.

Thanks for the correction, bug ID has never been my thing... :rolleyes:

I hear you, fourth day of 'summer' here and it's just pouring rain right now... :(

Trying to keep Jim's "green frog" thread going. All pics taken with the 35/2.8 Macro lens...crouching in damp, buggy underbrush early Sunday AM.

I'm not sure if these were with a Sigma 105/2.8 or Pentax bellows... these are quite old ;)

@Joe: how could I have ignored this ? Love the delicate structures of the flower and lichen.

@Neil: what an excellent image, fine colours and amazing detail of the bee's head.

All the very best ... :thumbs:

CROTONS: long (6-8"), narrow (1") spiraling leaves of brilliant color...shot with the 35 Macro lens...focused on the antenna-like structure at the tip of the leaves...to be honest: shot at high noon, so there is quite a bit of burning and dodging,, along with some cropping.

35 Macro revisited on the Labor Day dawn patrol...this is a good all-round lens, not just a macro.

Hidiho Roy,

you have been quite busy I see :thumbup:
Yes, that 35 is a little corker for sure.

Kind regards.
