New to Macro Photography

Be kind, this was the first photo with my new 100mm Macro. I think this is going to be fun.

beautiful shot, great detail, color and composition. love the contrast of the insect with the surroundings too. yes, i've found macro photography has opened a new world for me, i would have never considered taking it up without having seen the great shots some of the experts post here.

I agree, this looks like it will open a whole new world. So much to learn and experiment with now.

cracking shot....what species is it by the way?

I have no clue. I need to get a book so I can look insects up now. Bird photography got me looking up birds, now insects. I see a new library starting as well.

Excellent work. Welcome to the forum

I think it is one of the Chaser family of DFs.

nice capture.

Lovely capture

Thank you all, I have much to learn about photography in general, and Macro photography.

I would never thought I would have like macro photography either but it is like going on safari in the back yard. Tons of fun. Great shot btw.
