Fadinha do jardim

mit der Erdhummel

Blüte: Vanilleblume

Das ist die Grenze dessen, was mit meiner Kamera - unter Einsatz aller Tricks - geht, aber nur wenn das Objekt so langsam und geduldig ist wie so eine Erdhummel. Ich muss dazu mit dem Objektiv bis auf 2-3 Zentimeter heran, die maximale Kameraauflösung (18 MP) sowie mittenbetonte Messung für Schärfe und Belichtung benutzen und später einen Ausschnitt wählen.

Little blue/green fly with an awesome set of head phones tip toes through the poppies!

Shot this with an off-camera flash from the left and a business card on the right. I used a Canon bellows with a 28mm enlarger lens. I have a good write-up here:

I will up some setup shots in the next day or so. This was also written up on the "You Can Do It" article of Popular Photography (May 2005).

Thanks,

Explored!!

Zwei unterschiedlich gefärbte Bienen. Sie waren gleichzeitig auf denselben Blüten.

With Topaz Glow, I was able to process this dragonfly the way I had always wanted.

Scathophagidae

This fly was driving me crazy because it kept landing on my monitor while I was trying to watch a movie. So I trapped it under a glass with a napkin, transferred it to my kitchen table, put some honey on the napkin, and lifted the glass when it started feeding. I set the aperture to F16 just to show you how much detail is possible when your light is well diffused and the duration of the flash is short enough to freeze the motion in the scene.

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (4x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

The area where I grew up is notorious for mosquitoes. I don't get bothered by them anymore, probably through the years I've developed some kind of resistance to them. It could also be that the mozzies got tired of my blood and find it not as "sweet" anymore :)

Flesh Flies

Damselflies are insects of suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller, have slimmer bodies,

Had my best mornings macro photography for some time so thought I'd post a picture :)
