Yellow

Big bee fly bug thing that is mosly yellow.

This fellow was on the handrail at the Greenway bridge at work. He just walked around on it as I took pictures.

Macro

Fly up close

Macro two bugs on a leaf

Interesting colors I think.

Out on a limb

Just setting up the camera for macro shots can be a chore at times. Funny how sometimes you just catch something at just the right time.

Spider in a web

Sometimes I feel like this spider.

Up close

After trying to get some good shots last week this little guy landed on a bush close by just as I was loading my stuff back intot the trunk. Had to pull everything back out set up the tripod and even though he took off several times he came right back.

Spider

This guy was just hanging around outside at work.

Another of a caterpillar egg

Took this over at the entrance of the Greenway at work in Alpharetta. There is this patch of Passion Vine that usually has plenty of caterpillars on it munching away but so far this year nothing. This is also the only time I've seen eggs on these plants.

I've looked the last several days and the egg is still there, maybe this morning will find something more.

Being Artistic

I Like Beer. Bottle caps from 2 of the St. Bernardus high gravity beers I've drink in the last several weeks.

I just noticed the color scheme is Red, White and Blue.

Little dude

A fritillary butterfly caterpillar. It's a tiny sucker right now.

Munching away

These little critters were just eating away on a plant.

Piggy back ride

Are these Japanese beetles?

Beetle

These guys are around where I work. This one is on a little rose bush. This is at 1:1 on my 150mm macro lens, a macro purist may think this isn't a macro since the sensor on my camera is only a DX.

Very Close

Pulled out the macro lens and tripod and got into the back yard for some picture taking about the time the sun was setting. Had to expose this one for several seconds to get the DOF up. I'm really happy with the results and the wind was even being helpful but being non-existant.

long legs indeed.

Snapped this guy outside on the Greenway Trail while taking a break from coding at work. Handheld with 150mm macro. I even saw a couple of deer along the way.

Drip Drop

I tried my hand at some drop photos not too long ago. I got a few I liked, this being one of them. I'm going to have to try it again with some better lighting and drip mechanism.

As you can see, I may be focused more on the writing on the bottom of the dish I was using than on the drop splash.

Snail

I like these little critters.

Almost there...

Another ladybug shot, I know a bit lame but I like them and they normally don't more so fast that I can't get focused on them.
