Some handy macros

Lord Vetinari

Got a bit cool yesterday afternoon and I managed to persuade a damselfly and a miner bee to pose on my hand.

I agree, the pose on the last one is awesome . Brian, you must have some steady hands.

Thanks T

Fairly steady but when I do shots like this I rest the lens on the same hand so everything shakes in unison

Good idea, I'll have to give the "unison shake" technique a try .

Brian these are just amazing as are the ones of the minor bee.
