I just bought myself a Surface Pro 4 and tried tethered macro photography for the first time.

These aphids on the underside of an ornamental plant were all the wildlife I could find in our garden. In all seventeen images under artificial light, focus stacked using Helicon Focus 6. Hopefully I can find something more exotic as it gets warmer.

Everyone knows bugs are indestructible...I mean they can even thrive in Atomic Bomb testing sites. War needs solders who can be happy eating cat poop...

The red bug was careless, it didn't notice the spider in time and it was running through the spider's back. The spider was angry, but it didn't want to catch the red bug :-)

Or maybe it wanted just scare the spider! ;-)

Morning hoverfly.... happy Friday!!! I used to live next to 2 acre lot and I could go in there and get photos like this all the time. The lot now has a house on it and now it’s so much harder to find these opportunities. All of my photos are taken out side, found subjects in their natural habitat.
