Cracker.

I like the (fortunate) framing of this one from a couple of years ago.

This little chap posed on the rusty shed lock. Quite small still, lots of moults to be found in the shed before the year is out.

Hairy legs like my Mrs

This is possibly a sawfly larva that is about 4mm in length. It constantly flicked it's head as it moved around the crevice of a leaf. Near impossible to land an in focus shot but I'm a trier if nowt else!

I think I nudged the aperture back by accident to f/5.6 so the DoF was even narrower than normal - but it at least isolated the face and made it more "there"...

I watched all those YouTube videos that Chris Bray does, the Australian photographer. He shows a photo of a Lizard and the only thing crisp and in focus was its eye. He said it’s the first thing people look at so always make sure the eye is in focus. The rest of it was basically a little blurred but he said that it was a classic pro photo and everything about it was correct.
It’s what I tried to do with that photo above of the Lizard head shot. Some of it does look blurred but the eye is in focus. Before I watched him I would never have tried to take a photo like that. Obviously his photo of a Lizard was fantastic, I’m in no way trying to compare mine to his lol But your comment made me think about him. Great Macro shots you post. These ones are superb.

Spring budding in the Somerset lanes this afternoon.

Not sure of the species but looks a bit like a magnolia tree. Will report back once in bloom.

Keep it away from Gbamin and Finch Farm - we need what players we have left fit for 10 more games

This was the photo he talks about on YouTube

Creatures, like people, and even down to bugs, ideally should have the nearest eye in focus. It's what I always try and achieve.

App saying it’s a conker tree ?
