Macro Insects and Bugs
More photos from that film! These were again taken with my Nikon FM2n using an old Carl Zeiss 50mm lens reversed on the front, and a variable number of extension tubes. These were all lit using the Sun, which made it a little difficult to get any depth-of-field. Click the pictures to get a [slightly] larger view.
Ladybird
Shiny turquoise bug (don't have a bug book yet!) on a Geranium
Alien Fly
Ambushed - a spider gets a bee for dinner
Don't Jump! - A tiny beetle teeters on the edge of an Osteospermum petal
Green Bug-Eyed Monster - An aphid on an Osteospermum

Scary!! Wee beasties!! Very cool pics though.
I sha;ll have to work out how to take close ups with my expensive camera. I've been saying that for months though!!
My sister in law will grumble at me because I bought the camera in New York in February and have been too lazy to read the instruction manual.
