I recently found a pair of Nikon fiber optic lights on Craigslist for a bargain and it has really improved my macro and micro photography by allowing me to properly illuminate my subjects for stacking purposes. This stink bug eye was shot at about 14x magnification and with only stacking 20 shots I got a decently sharp image. I think the next time I try this I will use more frames.
I was able to get this image of a Yellow Cheeked Honeyeater having a feed on some flying insect recently - hope you like it!
Thanks for any comment, views or favorites - most appreciated!
Have a wonderful day and weekend!
Bug Light. Portland, Maine.
This sunset went on for 45 minutes. The guy shooting next to me said it was the sunset that keeps on giving.
This Shield Bug was on my Garlic. It would pause occasionally and let me take a few photos.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.
(114/366) I haven't got a bug butt photo for today but I have got a Bug Box. Like we really need more things to pack when we do eventually move but I couldn't resist buying this for just €4.99 from Lidl.
This nice bug was found by my cousin. I captured this image in the Great Nemunas Loops regional park near the Nemunas river. The bug seemed very interesting for me because of black spot on its body, it looks like a money-box. ;)
Please have a view of full size... Thanks :)
Life in the undergrowth. you just have to look. Preferably with some optical aid...
Canon 5D and EF 50mm f/1.8 with extension tube.
Oncopeltus fasciatus. In the Onion Creek Greenbelt, Austin. These bugs feed on milkweed plants and are unpalatable to predators.
I believe this is a Katydid cricket. Was wandering along our wire fence that stops the rabbits eating our plants. Such a cute bug but very camera shy.
Punaise des arbres et buissons que l'on rencontre du printemps à l'automne puis se cachent en hiver dans l'écorces des arbres.
Plant bug and bushes that are encountered from spring to autumn and then hides in winter in the tree' barks.
Took the Beetle for a spin today after being stored over the winter. Took some shots next to a field of rape. 10 minutes later I broke down and had to call for help. Nice to break down in the middle of a busy island junction!
A few interesting insects I have photographed when I couldn't find much else stirring.
1)Helmeted Squash Bug
2)Oleander Aphids
3)Pyrota lineata - a type of blister beetle.
4)Ascra bifida - a type of stinkbug
I don't know the name of that bug. Does anybody know it's name?
The length of that bug is just about 2mm and unfortunately I had no tripod with me. Therefore this is a free hand shot, made just with the help of my E-M1 in body image stabilizer.
This little fellow has been invading my office twice today (flying and crawling). I have never seen this species before. Now I know this bug is "Leptoglossus occidentalis" and comes from North America. First seen in Europe in the late 1990s, since 2006 here in Germany.
I put him on my window sill where he remained and observed me all day long.
Or should that be B B B B B B B B Bond Bug (s)?
Back in the early 1980s a friend of mine who was about 6 foot 3 and built like a brick ****house had one of these.
