G'day guys. Been a while between drinks... I mean macro posts.

Took an opportunity to sneak away from a meet-up with some of my wife's friends at the local botanical gardens to see if I could find some bugs coming into winter here. Did find a few, but bit out of practice with my macro shooting. Just missed the focus on the front eye here, but probably the best shot of my day.

Managed to get close to this damselfly at 2:1 with the MP-E 65.
