Default Macro Mix

Spending my Lunch at my favorite Macro spot is getting addicting and I'm losing a little weight as well. Here are some I captured yesterday!

Hover Fly! I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at this one, I almost stopped the motion on the wings in flight. I was happy with this one even though the focus could have been better.

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy these

Great series yet again Michael !! I'm always laughing (at myself often) at how we self depreciate ourselves on the tiniest of things only we can see.. these are outstanding

Things to do tomorrow: 1) Buy a new lens. The rest don't matter.

Michael these are amazing. The focus and clarity are a result of good equipment, but the composition is also so great, your photos are the best.

Thanks Michael. Yes the Lens is a big part of it. I couldn't do these without a good Macro Lens.

Your photos continue to blow me away with their clarity and fantastic detail. You have an amazing ability to capture the tinest things in the best of ways. Keep them coming.
