Today the 9th september is my 6 month anniversary of the first ever insect macro shot I shot.
i was relatively normal back then, now however, i am dressing in camo jackets to shoot dragonflys & lying on the floor in the zoo shooting escapee leaf cutter ants!,while people are walking over me!
is this normal?

here is my first ever macro shot,6 months ago

    Wow just six months, you are a quick learner!
    It is fun to look back and see how much your images change with time.

    Your Macros are some of the best I have seen, keep posting they. MM
