Just testing

Lord Vetinari

A few of today's macro shots to test smugbug, I mean smugmug hosting (courtesy of Andy).
Worked it out at last.

Not sure if my eyes are deceiving me but I'm pretty sure if you look at the abdomen of this hoverfly you can see the underside of the outer skin through it.



Spider tying itself in knots?- actually just securing a recent capture to the flower head

Aewsome stuff. It almost looks like there's even a smaller bug on the hover fly's face.

Thanks Chaos
If you mean on the last shot- think that's just one of it's antennae.

All Fantastic shots but the 3rd really does it for me.

You pass the test with flying colors...these are amazing shots.


Which lens did you use here? I see it is 105 Macro--but which company--canon, Sigma, other?

The last frame is wonderful and I love the color contrast and DOF
