Welcome to the forum. I really like the damsel fly and the hoverfly, beautifully sharp and well composed. What lens did you use?

[toonamp]

Beautiful set, great detail and colour :) Well done :thumbs:


Welcome :)

Awesome shots, all brilliant. :thumbs: What equipment do you use as no exif data is available in the shots?

I personally feel that ladybirds don't make a particually good subject as there is no real definition to "focus on" IMHO.
Having said that it is a nice image
but the hoverfly is my favourite :thumbs:

The macro shots on tpf are just getting better all the time - these are stonkers!

Damsel wins for me - lovely!

Hoverfly is class, top drawer stuff all of them. Up there with Alby's stuff (praise indeed) :)

[Torpedo]

Fantastic set of shots. The hoverfly is the clear winner, for me.

Very impressive set, well done

Thanks all for the replies.
I use a Canon 400D + Sigma 105mm F2.8 macro lens.
I normally just go save for web when creating a lo-res file so maybe that's the reason why the exif data is missing.

Excellent shots - the colours as much as the clarity/crispness do it for me personally. Superb. :clap:

It's at times like this, when you get a nice series put up, that I think it is time to dust of the macro lens and have a wander around the garden. Maybe tomorrow!
