Heya, thanx for comments.

These where taken with the MPE-65, and shot at 1X mag. It was shot at about 4 inches from subject.

Thanx for looking, Al.

I really like the first one. How yo got 4 inches from it I'll never know. These guys are skittish.

Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point..

Thank your guys for views and comments.

Your rite, very hard to get close to. This was the third one i seen that day, and had to move really slowly in order for him not to fly away.
I managed to get a few shots before he took off. Got one of him taking off in flight, but to bad it was OOF.

Thanx again, Al.

Yes, macro photography is very fun since it opens up a whole new world.

I was thinking about selling my macro gear, but i held off since i always find myself coming back to it.

Thanks for looking, Al.
