Macro fun


After yesterday's events, I just spent a quiet Saturday at home. Macro photography really relaxes me, so I got out my camera and sat in the grass and had a close look at what I could find. 

I'm getting better with manual focus and at controlling the very shallow depth of field this lens produces. Here's some of the cool stuff I found.



This spikey beetle was a great subject, very slow moving and VERY cool looking.


Maybe this young praying mantis is the same one I shot a while back when it was a baby ?


Some vegetation. This is a close-up a bottlebrush flower bud


My rainbow chilies, lookin' fine !

Avec tous les méchants piques sur la bébitte, j'espère que vous ne marchez pas pieds nus dans votre cour!
