A Morning Of Macro 4:30am to 8:00am

[photopainter]

Dragged myself out of bed this morning at 4:00am to see what the world had to offer.......

First find, a bit scary really not much colour in actual beetle so thought it made a dramatic B&w

A 6 Spotted Burnet Caterpillar - I think

then the thing I had got up for a damsel

and......

And a skipper to finish off the morning before heading home for some breakfast -- phew

Great set Bro - The focus and lighing on that last shot is spot on

I am genuinely impressed with those shots, I only wish my macro's were half that good. Very well done
Love the skipper.

Stunning, excellent work all round. That first looks very menacing

 

[Captain_Kangaroo]

Amazing shots!!!

Can you tell me what you use to get such close shots?

I've just got a sigma macro 105mm and just can't get the detail in my shots - probably me and not the equipment!!!!

Brilliant set and well worth the early rise

[photopainter]

Thanks all for taking the time to look and the comments - yes George / Captain Kangaroo used my trusty baby - the mpe..

The last one of the set is simply awesome!

Wonderful series of pics - what a busy morning you had but looks like it was worth getting up that early for.
