Thank you, Maralee. Inspiring someone is a big thing. I don’t do anything special, apart from point a camera and press a button. Maybe I have steady hands. 🙂
I think you must have ‘super’ steady hands – I know I couldn’t get these images, even with a tripod. But you also must have excellent eyesight to spot these insects in the first place. I just don’t seem to see insects on the ground at all. I wonder if it’s a case of the public walking paths I use are devoid of insects due to the constant human traffic. If I had a chance to walk out in the countryside, maybe I would spot more insects?
Whatever the case, I am thoroughly enjoying the wide range of insect macros you’re sharing. Some of them are downright spectacular.
I’m with Vicki on this one. You must have excellent eyesight & a very steady hand! I’ve been trying to get macro shots with an EFS100mm lens and they are hopeless.

That was a reference to the movie the fly! Sorry, that counts as one “crying wolf”!

I just love your macro photography. Your photos inspire me. I still haven’t been able to get that close, but i’ll keep working on it.
