    Marsh Fritillary & Dingy Skipper

    Not able to do much at the moment due to ongoing treatment at hospital, but last week could not resist the challenge when we heard that the Marsh Fritiltaries and Dingy Skippers had been seen locally. Was very surprised that they were there as it has been so cold and very few other butterflies...

    Macro Noir

    My latest macro project...a dumbel. I created this from a stack of 34 images. Pretty happy with how this turned out but I am going to revisit the subject as I think there is more I can do with it.

    Abstract Macro

    These are three of my favorite abstract-ish macro shots that I have taken fairly recently. The first image is a Dremel motor, the second a metal mesh fruit bowl and the last one is a door handle.

    A millipede

    Haven't done any macro for ages but found a teeny tiny millipede (I think?) going about it's business the other day. Millipede by DG Photos, on Flickr Millipede by DG Photos, on Flickr Not the greatest admittedly, but it's good to finally find some critters again!

    Best macro lens for Canon 1200D

    Hey I'm new to photography and I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with which lens to buy for my Canon 1200D for macro shots. I have recently bought the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro lens. I have now figured that this lens isn't what I wanted, this one is for long distance...

    Macro Lenses

    Hi, I'm in search of some advice on a lens for macro photography. I have a crop sensor (1.6x) canon and the lenses I'm looking at are the EF 100mm and the EF-S 60mm. The price of both these lenses are quite similar so I'm not to worried about that. I understand the it will depend on what exactly...

    Can anyone help me with these strange Nikkor macro lenses

    I was at a car boot sale a while back and saw what I first thought was the objective lens from a microscope in a box with a few other bits and pieces. Since this is not something you might expect to see not screwed into the end of a microscope I picked it up and realised straight away that it...

    Macro and close-up using a Rogue Flashbender

    I recently bought a Rogue Flashbender, which I find excellent for macro and closeup. I tend to want a lot of DOF and I use an off-camera flash in manual mode fitted with the Flashbender. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rogue+flashbender The diffuser gives a very soft light. In this shot taken a few days...

    Beginner Butterflies and a lizard

    Hi all, Thought I'd share my amateur shots of some butterflies and a lizard. The lizard was very difficult to capture as it was under the lip of a swimming pool side and I didn't want to use the flash and scare it! What do you guys think? IMG_9744b by Adrian Draghia, on Flickr IMG_9758b by...

    Bee on my clean washing

    Found this little guy on my washing line today, Was pretty tricky to get his eyes sharp as the washing was blowing in the wind and he kept walking around. Very well behaved little guy though. I don't often do much close-up work so with that said, I'm pretty happy with these.. Shot on Fuji...

    Life Size Lichens

    I had a session doing some macro photography on some lichens. My setup was an Olympus OMD E-M5 Mark ii with a Panasonic Lumix G 30mm Macro lens. To stay within the optimum resolution of the lens, I used an aperture of f6.3. This gives a DOF of something less than 1mm. So the picture above is...

    This is my first attempt at semi-macro photography, and my firs shot with recently purchased Raynox DCR-150. i must say I am impressed with this "lens". The shot is aimed as a product shot.
