So Many Blackfly,

...so little time for the over-worked ants on my sunflower this afternoon.

A selection:

All K7, 100mm. DFA Macro + kenco 2x conv., built-in flash + diffuser, ISO200, PSE9,.


Comments & criticism more than welcome.


Roger.

No3 very impressive, good subject isolation, the others all seem slightly cluttered.
Would be interested in how you achieved these, surely not just the macro + teleconverter ?

Davex.

Wow great set, making me itch, love the last two, great details.

I'm sorry Corker I just dont like looking at stuff like this maybe it should be clearer before one opens the thread what is in store

Yes, Davex, I did what it says on the tin!
Closest focus, rock to & fro, snap!
I just wanted to show the busy-ness of the scene.

Roger.

(Why do you ask.....?)

FPE,
Read the topic title...

What did you expect to see

Thanks, Stephen.

I find if I can make somone itch as I go through life, it makes it all worthwhile!!

Roger.

I know what you mean: I feel the same way about spiders, and I am sorry that a couple of our members use spiders in their avatars

On the other hand, I really liked the ants & blackfly. My wife has just had a look - she is a keen gardener and hates all aphids - but she loved the photos.
