Mixed Macro Shots Update

Here’s a quick update of some interesting little beasties found at Blashford Lakes, and a Dragon and Damselfly shot from Otmoor RSPB Reserve.

The Blashford images were taken on the Canon MPE-65mm with flash provided by the 270ex flash.

Firstly some tiny tiny weevils – mating Neydus quadrimaculatus – which are about 3mm in size.

A mosquito waits to pounce…

This next one is three shots – two to give a panorama width, the third to add detail to the head in the form of a stack

Next up the photographs from a visit to Otmoor RSPB Nature reserve,  last weekend, with just the Canon 100mm lens – no flash.

This little damselfly, landed on my tee shirt, with it’s lunch.  Even staying around when I walked down the path.  These shots were taken with it on my brothers hand.

Whilst later on I found a resting Broad-bodied Chaser, taking the wings

And then a close up with the 100mm.
