A Bugs Life ,Some Insect Pics.

[Simon Garratt]

stunning shots there Dre..


heres a couple of my efforts (sadly not alot of bug life here at this time of years thats as colourfull as your stuff)

and my smug moment.... catching a hoverfly in mid flight from 3ft away using a 70-300 tele macro....(it werent easy i can tell you)..camera is a canon 500D

Youve given me an urge now to go out and take more shots...

pics look great, are you using a tripod? when using small images you can't tell, but when the image is enlarged the blurry edges will be evident. seems like you've been swayed into the macro photography niche. Keep it up, nice pics.

 

[Dre]

Simon, no need to tell me about not been easy, it's a pain .That's a damn good shot though.
Alex, no tripod here just my bare hands .One morning i had a large Latt'e before going out, big mistake.Lol.

 

[Dre]

Simon, i would love to see more .What's the first thing that comes to mind look below.Lol.....

I call this one ,Caught Red Handed.

Great shots, I've been a fan of the bug shot for longer than the coral shot... The parks have a lot more than I thought to offer...

 

[Alex]

a tripod might make some of your shots difficult, so try a monopod instead.

 

[MO~IDOL]

Agree with Alex. IME Tripod and Monopod are difficult for macro fast moving bugs shot. Image stabilization lens IS(canon) VR(nikon) are big help and to freeze fast moving subject you need fast shutter speed.

below 7 action shots are taking within 2 seconds handheld with 1/8000 shutter speed, not all of them are sharp but u get the idea...all pics crop size to upload only.
