I'm trying to practice on my macro photography. The wind was blowing so I ended up hand holding. Grasshopper, lady bug and black wasp were my models. Macro photography is very challenging for me. The limited area of focus is so hard to get use to. I deleted A LOT of pics. This grasshopper wasn't moving but the wasp & ladybug were.These are my keepers.

Any advice on macro photography would be appreciated! Taken with my Nikkor 105mm micro.

Estava tentando descobrir como fazer uma imagem macro e esse pequeno inseto apareceu, peguei a lente 18-55mm, e coloquei a 50mm na frente, não havia tentado antes, mas esse foi o resultado da primeira fotografia

...or ladybug, or ladybeetle. This one seemed to be spending a lot of time cleaning its mouth. I was trying to catch the moment of takeoff. Maybe next time...
