Nature In Sects 3

In Sects 3 · **3 Likes**

Here are a few fliers that were standing still. Only way I will ever capture them.

Some of these were taken with the DA* 300, some with the Tammy 90 and some with the Sigma 18-250. I never know what lens I'm going to use.

All super! What lens(es) were you using for these?

For one who claims not to like 'em, your pretty adept at photographing them.

It is a learning process. Usually I just do it because I am bored.

What can I say... I know drink more and be happy.

Wow, that 300 mm (Pentax, right?) is incredibly sharp. How far away from the subject were you?

Why didn't I think of that.

Not too far away as I remember. It is super sharp and it is a DA*300. Best lens I own. I love it.

Being a Scot helps, as there's never very much to do around here.

You are rapidly becoming the Queen of the insect shots!

Westoz · 02-26-2014, 06:33 PM

These are cool Susan not just the insect but the whole environment very well shot.

I hope not EM. I leave that to the true macro shooter.

Thank you. I have always liked shots that included their environment, for birds too.

Hope spring comes soon Tess. It has been a terribly long winter for so many people. Thanks for the kind comments.
