Jul 22, 2023 18:23 | #8552 Thanks Archie and others. Well, I was zoomed in pretty tight, and they are heavily cropped to please my eye. I’ve had a fascination with dragonfly and other, well any compound eyes for some time. While I have taken macros of horseflies eyes before, never from such a low angle, and was surprised to find the lower part was so interesting. Also, these seem to be more domed, or have more camber than dragonflies.  Image hosted by forum (1219262) © I Keith Newton [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW.

Jul 23, 2023 02:34 | #8555 Yet, another, Dragon fly. Hard to resist. What's nice is even though they are startled easily, if you wait a minute or two, they generally come right back to where you startled them from. They fly a pattern in the area. So, if you miss one, wait a couple minutes, it will probably some back to the exact same spot. That's what this one was doing for me.

K9Kirk Likes neck nibbling and soft growls in the ear More info | Jul 23, 2023 11:48 | #8559 I haven't shot any macro shots in quite some time, but I thought I would change up the pace today and try some of insects around the yard. Just a basic shot here, no layering and a shallow dof but plenty of light and color with the TTL flash and diffuser.
