Heute habe ich einige Test Shots mit meiner Sony A7IV gemacht, unteranderem habe ich hier den Tracking Verfolgungsmodus ausprobiert :) Die Sony kann nicht nur Vogelaugen Fokus 😄
Sie hat die Libelle sofort getrackt, einfach Klasse 📷💯👍👌
Bild habe ich ein wenig gecropt, da Sie recht Nahe vor mir war :)
Two beautiful green insects resting quietly on the yellow flowers of yarrow. A tiny encounter in nature, where vivid green meets warm yellow in a simple and delicate wildflower scene
When I got back into macro this year I decided to go after active subjects, and to push myself. So I'm really happy with this shot of a feeding bumblebee.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I'm holding on to the Lavender stem with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady. I injected Agave nectar into the Lavender flower to give the critter a reason to let me get close.
This male Leaf Cutter Bee (Megachile sp) was snoozing in my Lavender for a few days.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I'm holding on to the stem of the Lavender with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.
Dieses wunderschöne Exemplar konnte ich in meinem Urlaub einfangen. War gar nicht so einfach da Sie sehr hektisch war.
Juvenile mantis (I think Chaeteessa sp.) at night in a Costa Rican forest. Well-camouflaged creatures are among my favorite macrophoto subjects; what seems drab from a distance almost always has beautiful complexity up close. For instance, look at the thin yellow edging at the base of the spines on the raptorial forelegs.
Letztes Wochenende war ich auf der Photo-Adventure 2023 und habe am Stand von Terra Zoo dieses tolle Geschöpf knipsen dürfen.
Early in the season, so I wasn't expecting to find anything like this just yet. I have asked someone to see if they can ID this one, I certainly can't. The wasp was grazing extensively on Alexander flowers and covered in pollen.

"Hoverfly"
Oh, to be a hoverfly freely,
on the wing dancing gleely.
On the daisies, weeds and roses, nectar sipping me supposes.
With a stripy coat and big eyes scanned, it flies around, good-looking, grand.
(Original fun poetry)
by Sean Walsh.
This little hoverfly was diving around as they do on my daisies, fueling up with nectar, readying itself for some more flying extravaganzas.
These insects are a very common visitor to my garden every year.
It's a joy for me to watch their antics as they dart and hover around.
This image is for Macro Monday this week.
The topic is strips.
This tiny fly only measures one or two centimetres across the wings.
This hoverfly has a lovely, stripy abdomen. They sometimes are called marmalade hoverflies, I believe.
Love & Peace!
Everyone. ✌️ ❤️
Hier eine weitere Makroaufnahme vom letzten Jahr.
Aufgenommen im Garten der Schmetterlinge Schloss Sayn bei Bendorf 📷
Captured this delicate moment of nature in perfect harmony, a vibrant blue flower paired with a tiny red ladybug. The bright colours and gentle details make this macro shot feel like a tiny world of its own.
Where i was i saw many pondskaters, that were not too close though. Luckly, i had my zoomlens, so i didn't need to switch lenses. There were 2 species i saw, one being the common pond skater and one smaller species. Then i saw this individual by the small spot of duckweed. I took my shot, making me have this result!

She sits at the hub of her own geometry, legs folded into perfect symmetry, while the world behind her dissolves into soft grey and rust. Every thread she's spun is a promise she's waiting to keep. ️✨
I took pity on this Eastern Yellowjacket as he moved slowly in the cool of the autumn air. So I gave him a drop of hot honey to help warm him up.
Hier noch ein Foto von diesem süßen kleinen Kerl , als ob Er gerade den Mount Everest bestiegen hätte 😀😀😀

Cicada killers, a personal favorite, are the gentle giants of the wasp world. These large solitary wasps terrify locals who mistake them for invasive European hornets, and now, the Japanese giant hornet (aka: "Murder Hornets") which is nowhere to be found in these parts. Almost nobody gets stung by cicada killers; it's one of the few wasps that I feel completely confident walking among the hundreds that gather around certain local parks at this time of year. Not to say the females can't sting; they just don't seem to do it too often. This one, probably a male, was perched on a fence post ready to chase off rivals and chase down potential mates.
