He is really getting "into" his work. We better hope we never loose our pollenators or we will BEE in BIG trouble.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!

How do you get such wonderful photos? Do you have a special lens or attachment to get those closeups? That really is a great camera, and you are a SUPERB photographer!

I just love the beauty that you capture!

Hi MacroLuv,

Absolutely beautiful. He is really into his work isn't he. This is an example of why I highly value your advice.

No, this is just a simple small camera. But with a small sensor you can get closeups without any special lens or attachments (prerequisite: you must shot from very very short distance - it works in my case because I got many friends among little creatures

).

Of course, quality is not as good as with dSLR and getting close is not always the best idea. Thanks for panegyrics but I only shot too much and then try to find a few interesting things.

Hmmmm...

Seems I'm attracting our young members.

Lets calm down a little. I can tell you that experienced and skilled eye could find many imperfections in my photographs. Look at this and search for flowers or insects for example to see what a really professionals can do. Or see pages of our chief Tom Webster.

Yes I have noticed with a digi that has a small sensor it seems you have loads more DOF(you dont really, it just looks that way) and you can stick on a close up lens and get great shots that look cool but are quite simple!

Strictly speaking, must know that magnification does not depend on the sensor size since it is a lens characteristic. Crop factor is a way how sensor size is "involved". (lenses are smaller too)

You seem to have far more sunshine over there MacroLuv than we do in gloomy old Britain, also a far greater range of larger insects.

Well, this year is exceptional by all means.
