More from my Afternoon Macro walk
Shooting Insect Macros is easy if you have a fertile area, average concentration and a good working knowledge of your Camera and your Macro lens. I always shoot Macros in Manual Mode, using a Flash and I set the Lens to Manual and leave it there.
I walked for about a Mile/1.6 km and it took me 2 hours and 30 minutes, I came back with 225 captures and so far have approx 90 keepers. I have so much more to learn, but I really enjoy doing this. The next step is getting to the right reference material to identify these so I can quit calling them insects and spiders ect. Well Here are the next in the series. Anisoptera (Yellow Stripped Hunter) [IMG]  [/IMG]Larger: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2650/...f98db68a_o.jpg I just called him interesting, sorry I don't know what to call it. It's best viewed in the larger size: [IMG]  [/IMG]larger: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2523/...af863ed7_o.jpg I think these two were playing Leap Frog, but I could be wrong about that. (Dolichopodidae (Long Legged Fly in Mating pose) [IMG]  [/IMG]Larger: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3560/...b3c83b83_o.jpg Acrobatics, (Ok, I know these were not playing Leap Frog.)
