Hey Skippy! It's been a while since I've been here and I thought I'd stop by and see how you're doing :)

Here are a few recent images, all taken with either an Xti or a 40D, MPE-65mm macro lens, and a diffused MT-24EX.

    It's an oil beetle -I only see them in the spring. By this summer they will be in heavy vegetation and out of my reach...

    These are all amazing John, can't really pick just one, I like all of them clap.gif

    Excellent Series John, I'm doing reno's, and they are about to start again in about 3 weeks time, so my gear is all packed away till it's over.

    The mess is unbelievable, but it will be all finished soon, then I can get out and play.

    Thanks for sharing John thumb.gif ... Skippy :D
