Steve, just wondering...How do you get within 4 ft of some of these critters without them scurrying/flying away. Or worse, sting you? I used to think you have to be very far away or stay at a place for hours just to get a shot.

he loves these insects as much as the incects love him...he plays with them...:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

For macro shots, sometime we do stay ard the place for long time. studying the insect's behaviour, and also making friends with them. ;p

After seeing Steve's shots, my macro lens finally see sunlight...haha.

Fascinating shots...the closeup of the fly's head is eye opener. btw, why picture 1 has got a ghost image - is it a because of the slow shutter speed ?

Hi Bigu2fan, maybe one day we shot together than I show you how to shots at 4”

During MOG outing I was shooting spider with broccoli, suddenly a bee landed on my left hand and start wonder around my fingers, straight away I turn my camera around and start shooting, the bee was happily playing with my fingers for sometime, broccoli says wow you attracted to insects, guess that’s your answer.

Thank you Hiteck.
I notice this fly keep landing on the same spot after take off, so waited for her to land again and try to capture an action shots, bang! got her. The shutter speed is at 125s, anyone out there care to explain.

Hey I'll definitely take you up on your offer I've got a 60mm macro, nowhere as sophisticated as yours hehe but I'm good to go! In the meantime I'll go practise a bit...
