I really enjoyed learning some new things, but it was nice to get back to my comfort zone this morning.
Guess who just had a birthday? We did. Henry Rifle Forums has made it to the 10 year mark. Thank you to all members, I'm glad you are here!

Re: My macro journey
Thanks for sharing your talent with us again, CH. You never disappoint. The photo of the spider and wasp is awesome. Wow.

Re: My macro journey
Well, the wildflower plot in the backyard is winding down. Not many flowers left and fewer and fewer visits by insects.
Here are a few from there and local outings. I'll have to switch to something else to shoot soon.

Re: My macro journey
Beautiful shots.
How cool is it to clearly photograph the dust on an insect's antennae? Or the hairs everywhere there's an insect hair.
I love the composition of the sleeping lizard on the dead flower in a field of blossoms and the lighting in the last shot of the wasp's face. Perfect.
Thanks.

Re: My macro journey
He's not sleeping, just playing opossum.
Been getting a lot of anole pics lately, as well as the green tree frogs.
Despite being on an outing to try out my new flash diffuser, I just had to turn the flash off for this one. Image isn't all that great, but I like the light quality. I need to do more available light shots.
Another available light the other day. If I had shot this with flash, the background would have been very dark. I really like the colorful background. The down side is I had to open up the aperture which results in shallower depth of field. The right eye of the damselfly could have been sharper. No free lunch.

Re: My macro journey
Sometimes you just have to know when to quit. I was out at Cypress this morning, and discovered a wasp's nest that was readily accessible. I got up close and personal and took several pictures. I started to notice that the wasps were beginning to get agitated, so I exercised the better part of valor and moved on. I would have liked to get some more images, as it's really hard to compose when you have a couple dozen small critters all moving around.

Re: My macro journey
Amazing shots my friend, simply amazing.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Re: My macro journey
I went out to give the car a quick wash this afternoon and discovered this guy on the roof. I dropped the hose and went and grabbed the camera. I wasn't the best background, but I tried to get some angles that wouldn't advertise where I shot it.
