Oooh those last clematis pics ( I presume they are clematis? :shrug:) Is that a Gillian Blades do you know?

Some really excellent shots there! I particularly like the one of the horsefly/hover fly :love:

[Messiah Khan]

Cheers jojosmojo. It is indeed a clematis(Although I think the pic looks like something out of a food magazine tbh:lol: ) Im not sure of the specific type, but I can ask my parents as they are the gardeners.

[chase779]

very nice shots!

did you use a flash in any of them or is it all natural light?

[LadyLens]

All great shots, but it's 14 that stands out for me :thumbs:

[Dan Leach]

Great pics, very well shot. What macro lense do you use?

[cwinhall]

3,5,9 & 14, all keepers there m8! The rest I'm afraid don't do too much for me.

Glad to see your getting some great use out of it! I really should be putting mine to better use like this!

[Messiah Khan]

Thanks for the comments. They were all shot in natural light(havent got a decent flashgun yet) using a Nikon D40x with a Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro lens.:)

[madmitch]

some fantastic shots there M K :clap: :clap:

[TomB]

Sod off with being instantly better than me!

[Venomator]

Great set of pics there m8 ... :clap: ... the Hoverfly and Clematis really stand out there ... :thumbs:









:p

[oldgit]

Excellent set of shots there :thumbs:

[A.N.Other]

Brilliant shots. The insects are all great, but for a flower shot, I really think 14 is a cracker!
