My recent macro shots

[Indiana Gardener]

I've been experimenting more with my Opteka 10x lens on my Canon A570. I was previously having difficulty with clarity due to a lack of good lighting. These photos were taken under a few 100 watt equivalent daylight compact florescent bulbs. The camera was on macro setting as well.

Here are a few shots of a D. capensis in action.

That last photo says it all!

 

[Capensis]

Very nice!

neat. did it catch that on it's own?

 

[Indiana Gardener]

Yes, and the fly was still alive when I first saw it and took the photos. It's since caught a few small gnats too.

It's final reaction, I'm sure, but not a chance. That fly and its groupies, these pseudo-ladybugs that have come from nowhere in droves over the past week, have been driving me buggy.

No luck in the latter getting stuck yet though.

Darn! You beat me too it!
