See, not even a shiver anymore. I just see (a phenomenally ugly example of) natural beauty these days. Reminds me of an idol of mine, the contemporary look of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top;

Been slacking, no photography since Xmas, however redundnacy is looming including 8 weeks off on full pay so hopefully more opportunities shall arise.

Anyways one from the weekend.

Bad that, hope you get a good payout and a new job.

Nice pic though - good eye.

Yeah looks like I have another Job lined up, weird bit is at least 4 weeks off paid where I am not allowed to work but it could be up to 8 weeks through May and June so A good time for photography but I bet the wife has a 101 jobs lined up as well :)
 

This caterpillar I found dangling on strand of silk, so I gathered it up and put it on a small piece of old wood. The background colour changed after the first when I moved the wood around to get more direct light from the sun (diffused by the clouds). All in natural light.

Wish I had seen the spider mite at the time, would have tried to get it in the focal plane/DoF... Still, can't have everything...

Well, ordered on Feb 4th, despatched via Snail Mail on Feb 5th, the Venus 2:1 Super Macro lens arrived today (Feb 21st). Not bad from Hong Kong.

Here it is unboxed:

What's the depth of field at 2:1 magnification, something like 0, 3mm?
I sometimes struggle with my nifty fifty while taking artsy flower pics. :D
