As an avid camper, I've been craving to get out in the woods again. I finally got to quench my craving last weekend while camping in the Uwharrie National Forest. It was a good weekend because I was finally able to test a lot of my new "field" gear. Most importantly, the bugs are beginning to come out!

Absolutely amazing set, Insecto. Love that centipede & the last shot is clearly a nice ending to a good week-end.

Thanks guys! While I had a lot of fun, my time was still pretty limited (only had a few hours each day to photograph). In a few weeks, I'll be camping on the coast where I'll have plenty of time to photograph the critters there. :)

Amazing falls short to describe how I see the image.
I love the way you brought out so much detail even on moving targets.

Thanks again everybody. :)

Samsen: You wouldn't believe how hard it was to get a decent shot of the centipede and mite. Both never stopped running. :rolleyes: To make things worse, the centipede was very fast, and for the mite, I had a full set of extension tubes on.
