Blashford Lakes July Macro Mix

I visit Blashford Lakes quite a lot for taking macro images, and July this year was no exception.  Rather than post individually, as I am catching up on a backlog of macro photos that I have taken, I have decided to put all of July’s images into one big picture post.

First the extreme macro photo’s taken on my Canon MPE-65mm 1-5x macro lens.

And finally – not really macro photo’s but some dragonfly in flight shots ( so they are at least insects! ) taken on a Canon 100-400mm F4 zoom lens.
