Macro Photography Picture Thread

Very nice Pat, the flowers are nice, but I love moving things (lizards, bees, etc) so much more difficult!

A couple of quick ones playing with a 105 Micro.

I agree, Butterflies we have a lot of, and they're VERY challenging, because they almost never sit still long enough to get good shots of. I find it easier to go out on a bright sunny day, but early in the spring when it's chilly, and they find a sunny spot and just sit and warm their wings

Blue Morpho Butterfly

Monarch Butterfly

Couldnt find the name of this?

Great shots Jay, love that first one.

Seeing the Cat Eye made me think of this Macro's of Animals Eyes

I've always wanted to do an entire series of shots like this. I find them fascinating

I love the lizards, what and where is the last one? it looks like a dragon of some kind but I've never seen that neck wattle before.

Ok my turn, I've got so many macro shots I don't know where to start so maybe some spiders.

The last shot that Pat posted of the lizard is an Anole. Very common lizard in the southern US.

Wow the spiders might just get this thread locked! Amazing!

 

[graynomad]

The spider shots just creep me out! Makes my skin crawl just looking at them

Sorry Pat, I just read that honest

Wow the spiders might just get this thread locked!

Pat's not a moderator I hope.

I like spiders - they eat flies and I hate flies therefore spiders are my friends!

Don't have any spider shots, but I've been educating escargot some time ago.

I don't know if I'd call this a macro shot but these are cute little Hummingbird Moths that like to feast on nectar from plants in our yard...

Fantastic shots guys! Those spider still creep me out, but I can respect the art of photography enough to know that I'll deal with the creepy crawlies to see good macro stuff

We have a resident Hummingbird Moth that comes into our Tiki Bar each night and drinks from the Captain Morgan bottle. We've named him Morgan

 

[graynomad]

Wow I've never seen that moth, it's bigger than some birds. Well caught.

I don't know if I'd call this a macro shot

Technically half the photos on this thread aren't "macro" (ie 1:1 or closer) but that doesn't matter I think. They are in pretty tight, that's close enough for the bush

educating escargot

Any graduated yet? It's had to tell how well they are doing from a couple of still shots.

Any graduated yet?

All graduated with honors and were released back into the wild (well, the garden by our apartment complex in Hong Kong )
