Today's Bug Hunting...

rahmonster

I set out for more Kenko use today. I am quickly learning it is MUCH easier to use one at a time. So I stuck on the 36mm tube and went hunting. I learned a few other things:

1. Ladybugs can be VERY quick when they want to be.

2. If you wear bright yellow, they mistake you for a flower:rofl

3. Make sure a spider is not of the jumpig variety before you stick a lens in its face:huh

Anyway, my best four from today:





(my fave :rofl)

And I managed to get a fly of some kind (no idea how really, fluke:rofl)

My fave:


I love the simplicity of so few colours, I'd even get rid of the blue in bottom right. I also think this little guy's HUGE shadow on the leaf is cool. And I love the print in your watermark! Is that a font or is it handmade?

thankyou. I forgot to add these are straight out of camera and uncropped. And the font is called scriptina.
