When walking the Lake Gunn Nature track recently I had some fun experimenting with close up's/macros images. A new playing field for me. As I discovered, not easy to get right ie find an interesting composition, get the lighting right, and consider impact of wind and weather. We found this beautiful delicate tiny alpine flower (Luzuriaga parviflora). A simple composition. Less is more. Often beauty takes time to discover. Lots of fun.
Beside the millstream at Staple Fitzpaine in Somerset.
Edible.
Not to be confused with Poison Hemlock. The chervil stem is hairy; hemlock is smooth.
Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.

I dug this out from the hard drive. I havent shot anything new in a year or more. I still have a few tucked away here and there, I may dig those out between now and when I get my new table built.
Thanks for looking, I hope everyone enjoys.

“So I will see the tiny purple flowers by the side of the road as I walk to town each day.” Munindraji, a vipassana meditation teacher's response when asked why he meditates
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable. ~Joseph Addison

Here's a small bee I found in my back yard. I was searching for ballooning spiderlings that sometimes land on small pine trees and saw several small brown "things" stuck on the end of needles of several trees. Looking closely, they appeared to be small dead bees, similar to what's left after a jumping spider dines on one. They had the "dead bug" look... legs folded up underneath. I gently poked one and was surprised when it suddenly flew away. Viewing another through the viewfinder I could see that it was grasping the needle with its mandibles and just hanging off the end with its legs folded up. Checking a half dozen others scattered around my yard I noticed that all had hold of the needles near the end and their body unsupported.
Taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark II, 60mm f/2.8 macro lens, focused at infinity, with the objective from a Soligor 90-230mm zoom lens reverse mounted on the 60mm, lighting provided by a small external flash shot through a lens-mounted diffuser made from the plastic bowl that comes in a frozen dinner.
In experimenting with the macro lens I found that focusing at 1:1 "eats" light, something I hate to put up with. By focusing at infinity and getting to 1:1 using a supplemental lens, there's no loss of light. Using a variety of different supplemental lenses I can boost the magnification to about 5:1. It's a very good thing that the camera has image stabilization.
