the flickr tickle of a butterfly tongue :------/

(coiled up tongue)

For scale, the head here is about the size of a pin head.

To break out of the shell

I have to shout

That I’m coming out

I’m coming out

I want the world to know

Got to let it show"

– Diana Ross

Freihandmakro einer Streckerspinne, Tetragnatha montana, fotografiert im Sachsenwald bei Aumühle.

Its a silver stretchspider, tetragnatha montana, photographed in Sachsenwald Germany, near Hamburg. Its a freehandmacro.

Just had 5 minutes spare in the garden and grabbed my RF 100mm F2.8 macro lens felt inspired to dust it off and give it another go!

It’s been a while since I’ve done any freehand macro photography, so I was a little rusty… but it felt good to get back into it.

Here’s a quick selection from my mini garden session nothing serious, just some fun experimenting and rediscovering the joy of shooting up close.
