I really like this picture. Well done, Nemorino.

Love that shot. They are hard enough perched let alone in flight

Very strong winds, difficult for real macro. These are again with 500mm prime...

Beautiful series. Well done, ISv.

Waiting for the next round of rain to pass (and eventually to get out at least for a walk) and organizing my old folders.
Found this one - probably my best photo of Preying Mantis, mostly due to the background.

Nicely done.

Lovely shots ISv. Not long to wait here before butterfly season arrives.

I think the soft lighting works great, no need a sunnier day from my view.

Took these last duke season. Those and green hairstreak are usually the start of macro fun for me.

Very nice pictures. I especially like the last one. Well done, Distinctly Average.

And one more from this evening (it was total dark - the light is artificial... ISO 3200, F8, 1/80 exposure, 290 focal (I used my zoom, there was no room for the prime). Again on the lanai and again discovered by my wife!
Click, please don't tell me it's a good photo - we all know it's not! On other hand it's my second photo of The Gray Hawk Moth (Psilogramma menephron). The first one was in the film era... It shouldn't be that rare here but most probably hard to see! I didn't pay attention to the engaged focus points - and well, I pay for it !
