This Poor Damselfly must have felt proper sad with all this rain, It even held a water Droplet on its head, must have weighed heavy
Feathers placed in a pyrex dish, filled with water and put it in the freezer, then periodically added more warm water to create bubbles and cracks etc.
Taken using macro extension tubes 1 & 3 (9mm, 30mm) and 18-55mm kit lens. I placed the dish between two surfaces and lit from below with an angle poise desk lamp.
My macro extensiontube for m42-lenses came so I had to test it. With full extension (55mm?) and handheld, so not that sharp :). Lens used is Super-Takumar 50/1.4.
Found this little guy crawling around on the driveway. He tried to climb up some concrete but failed. Then an ant attacked him but he managed to fling her away, but the ant just kept at him. So I took my camera strap and pushed the ant away. Picked him up later and put him on the soil around the direction he seemed to be aiming for. You better be a butterfly and let me photograph you next time I see you :D

Since it was a beautiful day, Gav and I spent the afternoon at the Rookery in Streatham. Obviously, I took my camera! I also took my macro extension tubes, to see how they faired when trying to take photographs of insects, and much as it proved a challenge - it was worth the effort! I'm certainly happy with this shot here anyway! The focusing isn't perfect - but given how tricky it was to even get a bee in frame without either spooking it, or it fliting off anyway, or hiding in shadow/behind a leaf etc, and with such a narrow DOF; I'm going to let myself off the hook for that - for now, at least! ;)
P.S. Thank you to those of you who sent messages to see if I was okay, after my extended absence on flickr. Sorry I haven't replied to anyone personally - but I really appreciate the concern! I am, however, fine. There has been a lot going on, and there still is, so I can't promise I'll be around on here much - but I will pop by from time to time! xxx
(my friend Kelly had me babysit her class' monarch butterfly chrysalis while she was away for the weekend. It hatched. The kids in her class named it stripes, I guess when it was still a caterpillar)
It was -3 outside and the sun was just beginning to win the battle against Jack Frost when I took these. Another set using the cheap-as-chips macro extension tubes

Another completely abstract shot, but I really liked the colour!

Photo made with 41mm macro extension tubes and Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, set at appr. 70-80mm.
Pim gave me a Macro Extension Tube for my Fuji X-E2, and it's awesome. Only the auto focus seems a bit off.

"Image 324"
As I slowly lose mind while shooting my current job, an intriguing idea comes along on occasion. Part of the job involves photographing minute ball bearings (actually they make up a coating material), and when the little guys fall, they bounce like crazy. I thought, wouldn't it be fun to see how they would look while bouncing on a piece of black Plexiglass? That became another image which I may post at a future time. If your working surface is not completely level, these tiny balls go rolling all over the place, and on to the ground. In order to contain them, I grabbed a pair of tweezers. Once I saw the tweezers on the black surface, the tweezers became my new subject. I filled the tweezers with the little fellas, and moved my strip bank all around the place. If the light's reflection was seen in the Plexiglass, the background was white. If the light was not visible, the black Plexiglass was......black. However, if part of the light was visible, and some of it was not, one achieves this sort of watery look. That is what I wanted!!!! So, with my macro extension tube on my 100mm macro lens, I adjusted the focus, changed the height and angle of my lens, and experimented. This was my favorite. Thanks for rolling by!! To all you turkeys out there.......enjoy your Wednesday.
