I've never really gone after insects in photography before, but my grandmother has a dandelion garden, and I had my camera so....














Shooting insects ain't easy

Those were the best of about 161. Next time I'll close the lens down to around f4 or f5.6 to get more in focus. f2.8 means being perfectly precise with the focus as close as I was.

 

um, those aren't dandelions.

 

Some really nice shots there ... Hey don't let it bother you that you don't know all the flowers by name .... thats why I date women ... so I don't have to waste brain power memorizing flower nomenclature

 

For some reason, I opened this thread expecting some pictures with strobe lighting (Alien Bees) hehe

 

1st. thing that came to mind.

 

those look good

 

Nice shots Alex! The first one is pretty sweet

 

What are they flower boy

 

Tight, what kind of bug is the ALL-BLACK one...Ninja Bees ?

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone

Actually roso, I think he's a sumo.
