Aphid overlooking the edge...

Paul Iddon

Got myself a nice new EOS 550D and gave it a run in the garden this evening. :clap



Here is an aphid, yes they are back with a vengeance in the garden...


This aphid is on the Lily of the Valley which are starting to flower nicely, and is on a short excursion across the precipice that is the tenuous edge of the leaf...


I have some others which are not as dynamic as this - I think the angles work, and the stark contrast in colours and the positioning of just the leading edge of the aphid all combine to give it a different look to what you normally get of the greenfly!

C&C as always appreciated.

Thanks Brian.

Camera seems fine - so little chance to use it is the problem!

Be interested in knowing how the noise vs IQ goes at various apertures when you've done a bit of shooting.

When I get day to myself (without the Mrs giving me shopping lists, errands, and school runs!) I will try and answer the call.
