Weird light today down here in the South West, not quite dull, not quite sunny. Perfect for photography really as it produces flat tones rather than harsh light of full sun. So half an hour in the garden practicing with the macro facility of the new camera. I'm impressed, and haven't even begun to work out what all the functions can do yet. Thought I'd share my first attempts.
Couple of shots of Buff Tail Bumbler attacking the Aquilegia for pollen. Quite impressed with these as never taken good insect pictures before, as just set up the camera on a tripod and waited, and waited..
...and waited. Which is why these two amorous ladybugs were spotted.
you must be about two weeks ahead of me, garden wise
ReplyDeleteBizzarely ST we're about 2 weeks behind normal down here as the cold spring is keeping everything back, and making it glorious in terms of wild flowers and blossom
ReplyDeleteYou must be a month or more ahead of me. Love the photos, cheers me up no end.
