ok so I have much more appreciation and respect for this photography genre because I swear that these little flying creatures dont stop more than half a second, seriously hahaha.

Perhaps it didnt help my case using extension tube and felt like I was breathing on them lolz.

What do you think? It is worth shelling out $$$ for a real macro lens?

Feel free to give constructive criticism. I am here to learn and share. Hope you do the same.

Have a great day friends, Cheers!

Found some tropical butterflies living in a greenhouse in a small zoo on the Baltic coast. What a beauty these creatures have.. gorgeous!

I haven't the faintest idea what species this is, though. As I found out, I know almost nothing about butterflies.

Also Flo started to trust us. She's playing, asking for treats and pets - only she needs always a bit time thinking about what she wants. Yesterday she slept on Toms lap for some hours! What a step!

This is something special I want to share with you friends. Taken on a Tripod during a very windy day. I went down to see the beauty of the place, but the view is from the top. You can see the surrounding wall and some shelters for tourists to take rest. I happened to know some locals dive from the top. I have taken so many shots, but this is the one I love most.

You can judge the size of the Sinkhole while looking at those people down there. Some people swim in this place, such lovely and clean water. This place is located about One kilometer away from the Sea, a great tourist attraction.

Located in Dabab village, 113 km away from Muscat, the capital of Oman. There are various stories behind the formation of the “Hawiyat Najm” Local inhabitants have a legendary story where by a meteorite fell in this location.

As its name indicates in Arabic “Hawiyat Najm” translate into English to “The Falling Star” Yet upon scientific research conducted by experts and geologists confirms that the crater was formed as a natural consequence of the interaction of dissolving limestone located at this location, which contain calcium carbonate with water, which resulted in the collapse of the earth’s upper crust layer.

Thank you for your visits, faves and comments. Constructive criticism and suggestions are most welcome!

Backlight is always a good chance to set old plant pieces and a bit of snow into a beautiful picture. Big fun to test it out.

Thank you very much for all your comments and constructive criticism. I appreciate them a lot.

I still think this shot is lacking crispness and good contrast. Hopefully one day I will find right balance.

A little different perspective of Yosemite National Park. Usually most see the "Tunnel View" of the valley floor but this image shows off Vernal and Nevada Waterfalls with Half Dome on the far left. Such wonderful landscapes abound in this image which provide perspective of ho grand this National Park really is.

We were able to stay up there that night and really take in the shooting stars, stars, and planets that were viewable. Like I stated before it felt a little eerie being up there with just a few others. We didn't hear any coyotes or see any bears but we really alone at the top of the world.

This image was captured from Glacier Point in YNP. Elevation of 7,214 feet above the valley floor.

Thanks for the views, faves, comments, and I welcome any constructive criticism.

As it is a horrible drizzly day here I have been constructively wasting my morning playing with my macro lens. This is one of my efforts to brighten up a dull day!

A beautiful beastie but if you look closely it has lost most of its nose, presumably in a fight.
