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

 

[Messiah Khan]

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

very nice shots!

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

 

[Yv]

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

 

[Dan Leach]

Great pics, very well shot. What macro lens 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.

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

 

[oldgit]

Excellent set of shots there

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