Went to a local-ish wood today to try out the new OM 90 mm Macro lens - which is *awesome*. An overused word these days I know, but in this case it's fully justified. There wasn't much bug life about to be honest, it's too early in the year, but this centipede found by Lucy under a piece of bark proved to be a willing subject.
This is a focus stack of 15 images - something the OM-1 can do automatically with flash, which is tremendously powerful. What's more, the 90 mm Macro can do this at 2:1 magnification with no extension tubes, Raynoxes or other faff. Just flick a switch and it goes into Super Macro mode, while fully retaining autofocus and stacking.
The bar has just been raised, no other manufacturer is even close.
A pair, giving a couple of different views. This was from a black-lighting session last Friday. We didn't get overwhelming numbers of individuals (other than mosquitos) but some very cool specimens showed up. Englemann Woods Natural Area in Franklin County, MO

Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
Later in the day and at a different reserve, where there were alot of banded demoiselles. Oddly, i didn't see any other type of damselfly. This female, led me a merry dance, flying away and landing a couple of feet further up the path. Down on all fours and moving towards it slowly, with the camera in front of my face, it stayed for a short time, and i was able to get a decent shot or two, not to mention some odd looks from other people!
Santa Cruz Mountains, California
The sun setting over the Pacific Ocean momentarily lights up a band of clouds above us.
I have not been able to find one with this specific coloration, but for some the orange and black is a common theme.
One of my first shots from last Sunday. I arrived at this location quite early whilst the sun was a fair few degrees above the horizon but below a band of clouds and was sending out powerful beams of golden light through the spray and onto the rocks. I set my camera up to capture that golden spray as the waves broke on the shore and rocks. 3s Exp.
