MACRO

All things macro I stick here. I got my first Macro lens Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM MACRO and love it. So this is all new to me.

Snack time...For a Katydid. These yellow flowers were today's meal. I have some where the flower is in his mouth. I'll post those later. Day 290 #365Project (2010.10.17) @sharkbayte

  • March 2, 2011-Ties that bind. I found a bunch of these branches tied around another trees branches, tying the two together. I am not sure why it was happening and thought it was interesting. (Day 61 #365Project @sharkbayte)
  • March 1, 2011-Spring has sprung! The past two days it has been very warm and I have noticed that the Forsythia Bush is starting to bloom. I tried some macro shots, but with the gusting winds it wasn't that successful of a day. (Day 60 #365Project @sharkbayte)
  • February 3, 2011 – Patterns and lines. I liked the patterns and the lines on the wood as well as the cord from Jasper's retractable leash, which was wrapped around the wood post. I cropped this macro to follow the rule of thirds but I didn't really like how it looked. I tried to play with it more but my body isn't willing to cooperate. #365Project Day 34 @sharkbayte
  • White Amaryllis, my neighbor called me over to check out her new plants she had gotten. I don't have a lot of flower photography skills, and had a hard time trying to figure out what to do with this one. Especially, I shouldn't be talking as I am holding the camera and snapping away. Day 19:365 (2011.01.19) @sharkbayte
  • What a difference a few degrees can make. This is the same light from the other day my glazed over. I am getting restless not being able to get outdoors with this chair....aarrr!! Day 353 (2010.12.19) @sharkbayte
  • A Wheel bug - Arilus cristatus. This is the largest of the assassin bugs. It gets its name from the cog like wheel on it's back. Day 337 (2010.12.03) #365Project @sharkbayte
  • This is a Green Iridescent Sweat Bee I believe it to be species-Agapostemon tribe-Augochlorini and a crab spider in the background. #365Project Day 301 (2010.10.28) @sharkbayte<br /> <br /> Thank you for all the comments yesterday on my Jumping Spider!!
  • This guy was very in-tuned with my camera, every time he heard the shutter he looked and came a bit closer....last time he moved. my chair was in reverse! Day 300 #365Project (2010.10.27) @sharkbayte (Pidippus princeps, Jumping spider)
  • I belive this is Pidippus princeps, Jumping spider probably a female. I didn't notice her at first but she jumped onto this leaf, then as I clicked the camera she turned (next pic) to watch.
  • I found this Nursery Web Spider (Pusaurina mira) on this plant. At a fast glance while rolling by I thought it was a pine needle or a leaf, as I got closer I can certainly tell my spidy senses were on! LOL! #365Project Day 297 (2010.10.24) @sharkbayte
  • Just hanging out. Not sure what species of land snail this is. I was thinking Glossy Covet-Fumonelix christyi. If any one knows the ID I would appreciate the information. #365Project Day 291 (2010.10.18) @sharkbayte
  • Snack time...For a Katydid. These yellow flowers were today's meal. I have some where the flower is in his mouth. I'll post those later. Day 290 #365Project (2010.10.17) @sharkbayte
  • These tiny flowers were loaded with these very small wasps. I am not sure what these are called but they are very tiny and line the pathway into the woods. day 286:365 (2010.10.13) @sharkbayte
  • This flower has a load of visitors, aphids, fly and the Lady Bug. I believe this is a sevemn-spotted Lady Beetle Coccinella septempunctata.
  • Pale Tussock Moth (Species Halysidota tessellaris - Banded Tussock Moth - Hodges#8203)
  • First thought this was a lady bug but as I got closer it turns out its a leaf beetle-Diabrotica undecimpunctata or a spotted cucumber beetle. #365Project Day 274 (2010.10.01) @sharkbayte
  • side view.
  • In search of more food.
  • He has a mouth full
  • On the move in search of more food. He just swallowed what I think was a bug and some plant material. Caught him as he was moving towards the next course. #365Project Day 267 (2010.09.24) @sharkbayte

    Very well framed and composed, also the colors fit beautifully. And you really master to operate with small DOFs!
    I thought about your statement that a tripod is of no use in a wheelchair. Did you try some alternatives already?
    There are people using pillows filled with small stones or cherry pits - layed on a table of your chair this might be enough firm ground for the camera,
    if the pillow is stacked hightenough.
