Pond life 2

[Sikario]

Now the frogspawn has all hatched and the tadpoles are searching the depths of the pond, I decided to snap a few shots of the other creatures surrounding the wildife hub of the garden.

It must be ladybird season because they were everywhere, they're great little bugs to shoot too because they don't often fly off. Shame they don't have any interest in the ladybird nest box we set up last year for them, oh well.

All shot with my standard Powershot A80. C&C welcome, I want to get better :)

I would say that your photos are pretty amazing. I really like the ladybug ones. Something about red bugs and green leaves that work together. :)

Great shots!

The caterpillar shot is outstanding IMHO. Nice colors!

1,3, and 5 are fantastic! I love them! Awesome job. Done with a macro lens?

Thanks for the comments.

I wish I had a macro lens, all shots were either on manual focus or on the A80's macro setting. I'm hoping to buy a 350d soon.

What brilliant shots, i hope to get shots like that with my G6. I some good macro shots already, but would think that i can get some like you've got.

If you havn't seen some of my shots already here is the link......
