Sandhills Hornet. In case anyone is wondering about the background, the hornet was sitting on an overturned kayak.

He waited long enough so that I could take his portrait.

Than along came this tiny beetle (about 4 mm in length)

And this this little unidentified fly

Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Thanks Heinrich. It is clear those extra 8 megapixels on the K3 are making a huge difference, at least compared to what I'd need to crop to on my K5. You clearly also have a skill in getting close without chasing them off.

You are welcome and thank you.

Excellent, macro photos, no other way to describe it. Great clarity, would make wonderful photos for a biology textbook or insect guide.

Thank you for the kind comments dear sir.

A great set Heinrich!
... and I also still use the DIY diffusor Rense suggested some years ago

Best regards, from hot Tokyo today.

Absolutely Amazing, the detail is massive on each one. And may I ask you how you got so close to the hornet without getting stinged!?
