Boss photos you've taken

Their grasshoppers are better than ours - much more interesting to look at - and the orb spiders look pretty much the same though.

Wife doesn't like travel so I'll never travel to other countries, means I have to settle for my little garden or the nearby canal.

Cheers bud.
 

Sandbanks today as the heavy winds and rain blew through, great for body boarding and playing cricket which we did plenty, muscles ache from the power of the surf

You do like spiders don't you...

This male specimen is living on one of the planters in the garden. Looking handsome. :)

If you get the chance however, to look underneath all that fierce mouth, you can just about see the area of the mouth where he would put his prey...

I miss this sound.
 
Wasps like cider. And apples. Once they get a taste of one of the windfalls (as well as those still on the tree) they just gotta have more. Then they'll like as not fly away a tiddly...

All taken using 3 extension tubes btw...

I needed to create a slideshow for the camera club I used to attend, and looking back, some of the photos could have been better, but way back in 2011, I hadn't really been doing macro for so long really.

Having said that, some of them were pretty impressive (including that bloody earwig - cos I HATE earwigs).

Anyway, I was looking through my archives and remembered I had this on You Tube.


See what you think.


(Hope the it plays OK, best seen in HD and full screen, with volume up).

Still seeing quality everywhere folks, love looking through here...


Anyway, on to tonight's subject:

On the stem of one of the garden shrubs.

I placed a blurred background on an A4 sheet of paper behind the cranefly in the first 2 images, and in the last, being so close meant a darkness beyond anyway.

Two tubes for the first two, and all three tubes for the third image:
