Post your best Macro shots

[qwRad]

Amazing photos Denise, really excellent stuff! Love the shot of the big colorful green/golden fly and my other favorite is the green guy with the transparent wings, nice pose on that one. And wow that really is a scary and awesome looking insect at the same time in the first two pics, no idea what it is though

Thanks qwRad! I had a busy day macro shooting! I was never much of a bug lady until I took up photography! Now I've found that they can be pretty interesting to watch! I hope that unidentified one isn't anything to worry about ...hopefully he is here to eat the aphids!


Here are a few more from yesterday ...

Today was the first day of real, outdoor macro shooting for me. What fun! These were all taken in a patch of decorative mint that seems to attract all kinds of critters.


I believe the 4th shot captured insects in the act of making more insects....


All shots with a 7D and 100L Macro. Thanks for viewing!

Great shots Denise.


The Kingb, that first one is killer. Great shot! The mating one is a great shot too, however this is a family site...[:O]


Here is some recent stuff from my deck...


This guy had passed on, but the boys found him very interesting. So it was portrait time. Didn't realize a June bug was hairy on the underside...











This is my favorite spider picture to date. Just wish I could have captured his eyes in focus. That would have made it the best. This guy was hard to catch since he was moving constantly and was about the size of nails head. He was tiny! Used a 100mm Macro with 36 extension tubes and a 1.4x TC and still had to crop a little bit.

Jayson - the second one is giving me the creeps - especially that left eye! Nice work! And hard to believe that spider is only the size of a nail head. Looks like a giant hairy beast to me!
