Beautifull shots - I especially like the first and last one. Good sharpness. Unfortunatley the background is a little distracting in the one of the damselfly. The vertical lines of the plant in the bacground somehow breaks up the body of the damselfly.

Could you provide som EXIF info? And what lens did you use?

Hey,

Thanks for the comments. The lense was my 80-200mm 2.8 with 56mm of extension tubes.

Without going through each and all the settings, the ISO was 640, and the F stop was around 7.1, shutter speed was around 1:500 for all. If you go to my flickr site, I believe you can see the EXIF data on each pic.

Cheers!

FF

wonderful. Bees arent too terribly bad to photograph if you are brave enough to get that close. Dragonflys on the hand are something that eludes me and have enevr gotten close enough.
Your colors are brilliant and clarity right on the money. Great job
