Firstly I'd like to thank you folks here for the encouragement and insights I've gained since I first snapped the Bee Wolf images and got sucked into this place.
I'm now poorer, have gotten behind with a heap of stuff I was supposed to have been doing, and I've thoroughly enjoyed learning how frustrating macro photography can be.
I've outgrown the garden unless something unusual visits, and then resorted to having one last go at the flies in an effort to get a little more in the picture than simply a clear shot of a fly.
A little more thought about how an image might take on my own style of shooting in terms of how I want to present the creatures I've been photographing. I'm artistic and want to employ that with macro.
It's become obvious that I can't rely upon the daylight all the time and I'm playing around with lighting while not forgetting that a well lit natural light shot is likely to appear quite pleasing if all the other variables are nailed.
I will endeavor to broaden my subject selection by getting out to where I might find something I'd like to shoot, and of course remain almost envious in respect of what's posted by those who have more skill and experience.
In actuality it's great to see images which I wish I'd taken because it focuses my intent and allows me to see that I'm not in the same ball park yet.
A few shots which kind of do what I intended.
