A few different shots from me (some bugs as well of course ;-) )

[dpSparhawk]

I have a few bug shots of course but yesterday I decided to open up the aperture much further than my usual F11 on 2 or 3 of them to get something a little more abstract. They're a little out of my normal comfort zone of bugs (mainly as there weren't many about although I've a few bugs as well of course).

Abstract Droplet - F3.5



Another single droplet @ F8 but a little closer than the image above.



A fly @ F3.5 - Thankfully it was very small given the tiny DoF I was working with



A droplet on a Bluebell @ F5.0 - Flowers aren't my forté



Back to my normal F11 for the following images

Droplets in a spiders web (Single frame)



Tiny fly on the tip of a blade of grass



A larger fly in a rather yellowish environment.


...and a fly I'm not sure on the I.D of, or whether I should even have let it go onto my hand

Terrific eclectic series Ian, love the single droplets.

The last - could it be a sawfly maybe?

love the drops, how the hell did you keep your finger still for so long?

Bod, it wasn't the easiest as the wind was blowing as well. Had to wait for a little lull before taking it . The hardest part was trying not to pass out from holding my breath lol.
