Hi

Was off today so went out to get some more practice, playing with M mode mostly, but a couple with Av mode. Flash used on a couple, others with natural light as it's been a nice day.

All taken with %d and Canon 100mm macro, plus the MT-14EX when flash used. All are cropped to some degree. Have somehow managed to strip the EXIF, but was aiming for between 100-200/sec with apature from 4.0 to 10 and then changing ISO to match metering.

C&C welcome along with ID's.

Chris

1. Think this is a Blue Damselfly

2. Yellow Dragonfly, would have preferred better DOF

5. Male and female weevil. At least I hope so after what they did next.

Thanks, they are all common bugs up in the woods by my place, but they all seem to be camera shy a lot of the time :-)
