Carnage

The things you find in lamps: these are a small portion of the collected mass making the lights flicker. Shot in Macro with Fuji FP S3100 in sunlight on white paper, Auto-everything, no flash, cropped, with contrast bump.

I never would have thought to take a shot of this. I try to clean out those things as fast as I can and looking as little as possible! I like the white background and the composition with the mass of bugs at the top leading into a few scattered at the bottom. The large bugs (odd 3) mixed in add to the visual interest. For a bunch of dead bugs as a subject, I kind of like it .

Saralonde,

This is part of that after-cabin-fever just-before-buds Macro-anything shooting. Also gaining respect for Fuji and sunshine; what a difference natural light makes. Thanks, Lady, for objectivity. The textures and coloring drew my eye; it's something more than debris.

It just shows there are interesting photos everywhere, just waiting to be taken. We just have to be open to recognizing them.

with my pet tree frog! And now I want to try taking a picture of my koi ponds (AKA the mosquito farms) in macro. I wanted you to know your capture of carnage has inspired me to look at the birth of those skeeters in a more positive way. Now where is my OFF?

Oni,

Always a treat to hear from you, and to learn your critters are not all four-legged. I'm thinking if you don an old pair of jeans with a hole in the knee, and you spray OFF on everything but that knee, you might catch some courtship shots, or maybe malaria. Eagerly awaiting results of your hunt!

This photo really BUGS me!


No really, I like it it's very original.
