As we are now well into Winter, there are not too many insects or flowers around, but I got my camera back from Canon yesterday so I had to visit my neighbour's garden and see what was around. We have had a couple of sunny days after a week of rain, so there were lots of tiny Hover Flies buzzing around the grevillea.
Canon say that there is nothing wrong with the camera and that it is the batteries. I have five batteries and I can't believe that they would all die at once, but I have to take their word and have ordered some new batteries. I will be testing them out thoroughly as soon as they arrive as I can't go overseas with a camera that it unreliable.

there are about 35 trumpet vines in my yard which have provided hundreds of flowers to the birds, butterflies, bees and other insects... they are an all time favorite of wildlife... for large: www.flickr.com/photos/rioazul/4848958483/sizes/l/
It's funny what you discover once you look closer. I never noticed before that we have some bees, hovering and looking similar to Hummingbirds.

See the comments for some more shots of the serie. Relatively easy to shoot, since these are no real macro but close-up shots. All images processed in Lightroom and cropped. The back-side of this insect looks interesting, too!

Hover fly pollenating Evolvulus glomeratus (Blue Daze.) Hover flies, or Syrphid flies, are very effective pollinators.

BA used: 3 u-clips, 3 monopods, and 1 apoc smg.
The hover fly is my favourite bug to shoot, as they are very photogenic (much prettier than those big ugly bees) and they don't run away when I creep up on them (like those flighty butterflies).

Macro shot of Hover fly using Sony A7M2 and Oshiro 60mm macro lens for canon adapted to sony.
Handheld and manual focus.
The lens is about ÂŁ150 and adapter ÂŁ15 so really pleased with the results.

Heavy tank designed to protect infantry by drawing enemy fire to itself and laying waste to the battle field with two modified gatling guns and a heavy repeating machine gun on top. Ammo can be switched out to armor piercing, but the Slug is mainly used as a mobile bunker on the battlefield.
I created this a while back as a Star Wars tank, but I never really did anything with it, so turned it into just a sci-fi hover tank. The sides open up to seat three people inside, I believe.
