Never occurred to me to stick my F*300 onto it. I'll try that.

And I thought ladybird egg hatchings were frantic! These things rival their adult form for ferocity looking at those grabby thingies on their heads. I've seen the eggs before but never in such exquisite detail as this one. That will be an image to treasure I would think?

To save starting a new thread on the same topic - when it is raining I go out and take photographs of wet things. It is presently scorching hot and exceptionally bright so I went out and took some of brilliantly lit things, again using an Aldis Uno but this time, it's an almost mint one (from 1921. The casing of the folding camera it was in wasn't up to a lot so having failed to sell it (for a quite reasonable price) on Ebay I scrapped the camera and remounted the shutter and lens. Once this one has proved itself I shall put the first one up for sale so one of you can try something new!

Anyway, some more photos from a very old lens ....

Purple Toadflax



Also on their last legs, some Sage flowers



The small spider's web just above those flowers



And one not quite so brilliantly lit



Someone said recently that you don't have to go far to find photographs. All of these were within 20 feet of each other in the garden.
Hope you like them !

You could try one of those no win no fee outfits. Had he been reasonable about it then it could be forgiven but his attitude stinks. At the end of the day it is theft. It looks as if it isn't the first time and it won't be the last. He needs a kick in the legal clauses.

Straight out of Fairy Land. Fantastic result.

While you are there, have a look at nearly all of it. It's a wonderful macro resource.

Frogs always demand to be photographed so I doubt you will get into any trouble with them. .... Love the grasshopper.

That came out very OK didn't it?

".....But when removed you have no eyebrows, red ears and bleeding lips "

And a desperate need for a beer !!!!!!!!!!!!

It works because it's simple (Oh dear, 10 combined shots - how complex does simple require?) I would put it on my wall.
