Having a potter around the garden today, I attempted a bit more macro, it has been cooler today that it has been over the past week or so in the UK so I thought it would be a good chance to get some shots of insects and the like.
Even though it was cooler, the little buggers were still very active. I found some floweres where there were lots of different bees and hoverflies, I've been trying to attempt to get a bee in midflight approaching a flower, but they were so active, this was nigh on impossible, then next time I try it, it will be with my 150-600 lens, so I can still keep my distance, but have a really good view of the bees etc, not sure if this will work, but it's worth a shot.
All shots were done using my Sony A7iii camera, with a MC-11 adaptor to allow me to use my Sigma 105mm Macro lens, I also had (on some shots) a Raynox 250 on the end of the macro lens for even closer shots.
The fly in the pic above was so small, I'd not even noticed it there when I initially took the shot, I wish it would have been facing the camera though as when you zoom in, you can see all different colours in it's eyes.
Thanks for taking time to ready my blog, if you'd like to follow me on Instagram, please click here
I do hope you've enjoyed the little wonder around my garden.
