More bees and flowers

I was going to test focus-bracketing, but then I remembered that there was a lot of extra pot-processing. So instead I just made the fstop number bigger (aperture smaller). Tomorrow I will probably add my flash for a flash for a full fledged macro-setup and turn the fstop to 11 …

Another Macro Fly

This was taken back at the start of the month when I was walking around the neighbourhood looking for flowers.

I haven't had a lot of time to get out and take macro photos, and the times that I have I am torn about taking the 100mm which is my …

Macro Bugs

I started taking macro shots this summer with a decent starter 1x lens and flash. I still have a lot of technique to work on, but having bugs in the backyard is a good palce to start.

This little guy moves so fast that he was faster than the mirror …

The Pool has Water!

I haven't been out with my camera when the bees are active, yet, but I except to have a lot more bee pictures in …

Ants Crawling and an old camera

I was starting to find the EOS-R6 without a cage, and with the EF-RF adapter a little awkward. The grip isn't quite long enough for my whole hand.

So I'm working with the 60D that fits my hand slightly better, and without the adapter the camera isn't as front heavy …

Bugs and fake ladybirds

I decided to name my 365 project, the year of flowers. We have so many different flowers growing in the yard that I want to make sure that I can share them.

Of course there are too many to spam at one time, so they will be stretched throughout the …
