superlion Mega Fish Posts: 1246 Kudos: 673 Votes: 339 Registered: 27-Sep-2003 | Amazing photos! Very impressive. I don't think I could snap a picture of a fly before it buzzed away... these photos are perhaps even better than the ones you see in field guides! ><> |

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004 | Thanks! Dont think i took these pics easy way...i was lucky to get some decent pics but most of the times they just buzz of before i even press the button. But they always come back and then i was ready for them. Most of the pics where taken in the night with a tissue paper that defused the flash. |

Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003 | and kudos on using live subjects. So many times I see macros or creative photos using insects and you can just tell the critter didn't up and fly away afterwards. It would have taken a great deal of patience to get the shots you did, well done! ^_^ |

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004 | Thanks a lot guys! All the pics of insects i take are free as a bird!..i dont touch them like many others using honey or even cut of their wings to get clear macro shots Iam pleased with the outcome of these pics,especially since it's only the 55mm standard lens and handheld cam. I dont have a tripod but will buy soon and i also would like to get an 100mm macro lens. The wasp was on the window and he wasn't to much bothered as i got some few pics of him before he flew away. And yes patience tou must have Thanks guys. |
