That means bugs are back!

Macros are one of my personal favorite things to shoot. Its amazing what you’ll find when you slow down and focus on the little things in life.

Thankfully its starting to warm up. That means more bugs and critters will be out and about. Time to dust off the Macro.

Went for a nice Sunday afternoon stroll with my camera and found some interesting things.

Today I took got a few good pictures right outside my door.

Then I went to McCord Park, right in the heart of Tallahassee. There were some beautiful yellow flowers attracting many hungry insects.

You can just see the strand of webbing this lynx spider shot before he swung away

Luckily, I didn’t see any of these…

Anti-Gravity Challenge

I often visit a photography community named New School of Photography (or NSOP). Every month we have challenges where a photographer must try to shoot a specific theme. July’s theme was Anti-Gravity.

Luckily, I took a picture yesterday that fit the challenge pretty well. There was a spider hanging onto a single thread of web. He was violently shaking up and down in the wind. Frankly, I was pretty lucky to capture the shot.

Here are the other submissions for the NSOP July Challenge

Unfortunately, I was unable to photograph the universal anti-gravity machine shown below:

Earlier this month I got a new Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro. I read a great review about it at The Digital Picture.com, and I was hooked.

Its a very fun lens to use. Here are some of my favorite shots so far. There are many more in my Bugs and Macro albums.
