Green bee, white oleander, hand held 70-200 25mm ext tube zoomed to 190mm. 640/f7.1 200% crop or there abouts. JPG'd down to who knows what.
Who would have thought bees would have taught me the value of a 1dx fps and auto focus needs. These guys were moving, I tried manual & auto focus, single shot and burst. My wife was LHAO watching me and listening to my narrative.

If you see me with a wrench, call 911
So true. I've let fly plenty of choice words while stalking a bee. It's our own special kind of insanity!Originally Posted by Busted Knuckles

Not the best shot here... I was only able to get one shot off before the moth flew off (without the spider). So I did not get the framing right or the DOF, but I thought it was still interesting to get a shot of a colorful moth with an ambitious spider.

Nice ... a "piggy back" spider. Too bad he didn't hang on for the flight

Great stuff on this page. Great work catching that Spider Pat. I had a moment like that last year, but didn't have the proper equipment to get a good shot.
Joel, Steph, and Kombi, very nice captures.
I have been working on capturing still life after watching a little training last weekend. These were quick set-up and shoots and I am going to try a little more to control the lighting in the next round. Just notice my clock is a little tilted.
All are basically the same set-up. Main umbrella at about 1 o'clock directly above the subject and fill cards all around. I believe next time I am going to use my Apollo, light tent and some other fill cards that I am making. I believe that will make a big difference in reflections and general lighting of the subject.
Green tree frog. It was sticking to the slider door of our condo in Williamsburg, VA. (They're loud too.)
I know I'm dating myself, but doesn't it look like those Peace Frog t-shirts?
