It's more of a challenge to capture them in there natural inviroment and light... :D

The D-cam I used was, a Olympus C-750 UltraZoom.

These are nice. I especially like the first shot, but HOLY SMOKES, the second one is HUGE. You might want to consider resizing that one. As a guide line, the preferred size is 800 pixels or less on the widest side of the photo. Nice work though. :D
Edit; I just noticed this is your first post, so, WELCOME to the forum. :D

Nice shots. I love the 2nd one!

The first one is nice. I wish I would come upon one of these to photograph. The bee is a little overexposed.

Cheers for the replys dude's/girls?.. Yeah I've only sort of just started taking photo's and still learning about overexposer.. I went out and brought a couple of UV Filters to help againts some of it.. The main 1 I brought was a ND ( neutral density ) X8.. Next I want is the Macro Close up, but do I need this sort of filter when the cam can do 3cm close up's already?...

I Dunno, as you already said; 3cm is pretty close already. :rolleyes:

yeah the 1st shot is fantastic.............
the 2nd one is too big to look at all at once so you lose the feel of it
and i think the one with the bee is a little too busy looking......
and as queenbee said its a little over exposed) don't fix that by adding filters tho....... fix it by either using a faster shutter speed or a smaller aperture....
I wouldn't use the closeup filter either becasue its adding another optic into the mix (and the glass in these filters isn't gonna be as good quality as the glass in your lens) the idea with macro isn't to get as close as possible its to get as far away as possible but still retain 1:1 lifesize magnification.. (just try getting 3cm away from a hoverfly ) :)
