Having been there several times and also stayed on Thorne Island, those OOF shots completely capture the bleakness, desolation and wildness of the place.

Curious that with all the recommendations for a 35mm nobody has mentioned the highly affordable, relatively common (on Ebay) Takumar 35mm. It is every bit as good except you have to focus manually.

They do look good - especially in blue.

When it grows up it will be one of those whopping fat brutes that sits in the middle of a big web. It's an orb web spider of some sort. Good pictures of one so tiny.

Persistence paid off - for you if not the wasp! The odd one visits my garden but I've never had the camera with me. Well done!

Still got it !

Very very nice. I really like the deep, rich colours in these. The lacewing is a good one since they rarely stay in one place long enough to photograph !

If you have fingernails you can shove one of them in the slot to get the same result. I use the corner of my thumbnail.
Derek, for a microscope I presume you won't need infinity focus. Consequently, you can use any of the cheaper, simple flange type adapters that have a normal K type bayonet on the rear and an m42 thread at the front. They can't get stuck !

The Birmingham reflections are just lovely.

The one you found looks like a female. Here is a male version, from which you can understand its common name of 'swollen thigh beetle' !
