Small things seen up close. Work in progress…

Thanks 3DG

Here's the same species but without the yellow...

I wasn't too sure if today would produce anything much because they weren't staying still for long. I felt the conditions were otherwise good and I feel privileged to have captured these. The first one has a piece of grass in the foreground but I couldn't go past the eye colour...

What's up, Bryan?
In the first one, that blade of grass not only doesn't bother me, but I think it gives it an interesting touch. And the second one... that second one is just gorgeous.

A tiny geranium flower…

Amazing!👍

The lines of their bodies match the lines of the vegetation. The great colors also add to the picture.

¡Hola!
Another small hoverfly…

A Crane fly with red eyes.

Panasonic GH4 + Nikon 70-200 at ~150mm, Achromatic Close-Up lens

A good specimen.
“Típulas” are tricky subjects to photograph: the large ones have a nice structure, but they tend to frequent areas with thick vegetation and often result in somewhat chaotic compositions. Here's one with green eyes...

The smaller ones have less detail, but i think they usually offer more interesting or, at least, cleaner compositions...

Nice pics!👍

Fabulous captures.

A light a little too harsh, but this little one wanted a photo…

These bugs don't usually have many fans, but some have pretty colors...

¡Hola!
With these tiny subjects, I often wonder if it's even worth taking out the camera because I know in advance there won't be much detail to work with. Then, when I see these small worlds on screen, I'm glad I took the shot...

So, a reddish one.😀

And from another angle.

A good pair of images. I have another red one here, with black stripes. Or is it black, with red stripes?
