Ne pas pas bouger et observer son environnement.
EOS 40D & EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
f/4.5 | 100.0 mm | 1/350s | handled
I'm not much of a macro guy but... I've got a Nikon 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens for a brief time and we have these flowers on the edge of our property that are apparently like crack to any critter into nectar. There were probably 15-20 butterflies, dozens of honeybees, and these two amorous firefly-like critters - who prove beyond a doubt that life is short in some parts of the animal kingdom - and that multi-tasking is a requirement.
The other fun thing about this image - to me mind you - is that I shot it with my D70 instead of my D300. The incredibly great thing about the D70? It will sync at literally any shutter speed. I marched my SB-600 speedlite with a shoot-thru umbrella and my new Paul Buff radio transmitters out to the wildnerness. I was getting shots with flash at 1/2000th of a second. Only catch - no one was flapping any wings - what with the nectar of the gods and all but oh the possibilities.

See it large.
This was the first macro shot I attempted on my first digital camera. A Finepix 5100. I was amazed at the detail when I blew it up and saw the hairs of a leg contrasted against the ridges of the palm.
Haven't spotted this beautiful butterfly in the garden before.
Think it's a bath White or female orange tip. Taken in natural light
