Insects

[turchan]

So I was taking a few shots yesterday dawn, and I found this little insect on our Chinese Lemon tree. I really like the way it was taken, tho I don't know what's its name.

It's a lemonous-lemonade insect!

While I'm not really a big insect fan these images look great!

Some nice shots everyone. These can be tough to get because they often don't sit still for long.

Busy bee

Some nice shots everyone. These can be tough to get because they often don't sit still for long.

Caught this one beeing a busy bee. I was shooting other things and this guy showed up. The lens I was using is not a Macro, but I shot them anyway.

Very very nice set Robert, really love the second image.

Another honey bee shot.
Keeping a focus with an adapted Micro-Nikkor-P 55mm macro is tough. The focal area seems smaller that when this lens is used on a Nikon body.

Looks like you got the focus spot on. Very nice image!

 

[davect01]

Looks like you nailed it.

Hi Dave,
Great and sharp pictures of honey bee.
Robert I like your butterfly pictures also specially the first butterfly was pretty.

 

[Bimjo]

I really like the last one. The white on the wing lining up with the stalk(?) in the background is perfect. I do like the translucent quality of the wings in the first shot as well. Nicely done.

 

[davect01]

A little late, but great additions Robert.

Here's a mantis that came to visit just the other day. Shot with a Nikon 60mm Micro with a 5N.

Like I said previously, insects and bugs scares the willies off of me, nevertheless though this photo is brilliant.

+1 on both counts
