Macro/Close Up

[Mike]

Went to Death Valley this weekend and got this awesome shot of a dragon fly. 300mm with and extension tube. I'll post some more later. Saw soom cool stuff.

Hey! That Dragon fly is a camera-hog. Sharon caught the same guy - wonder how that happened?


She was able to capture some other macros on our DV trip:






I've heard of the birds and bees, but where do the water skimmers fit?:


And here's my hand at the macro thing:

SOme pics from Big Bear

Malachi and I went for a last minute run thingy up to Big Bear Sunday. I was looking for a trail i've never run before and Mike had plenty of ideas so we hit the road. I took a few pics along the way:




THis flower is on a fern that is so small it's almost invisible!

I put a ball point pen next to it for reference-














Thanks Mike!

Great shots Rat! The tiny flower turned out great. It was a nice day in the mountains too. I still need to pull my shots off the camera.

These are some Macros that I took while camping in the Lake Cachuma area:











This is one that Sharon took:

This mocking bird did a complete backflip to get another shot at the hawk.

Elusive little F%$&er

This little Tern has been waking me up every morning for the last three weeks. He's in love with his girl freind and they make some serious racket out on the deck of my boat in the morning. I've been trying to get a picture of them for weeks, but they hear me coming and boogie. So I finally got smart and set up my tripod on the cockpit deck aimed at his favorite perch. I got up this morning and HA! Gotcha you little s__t.

He knew I was there, but he couldn't see me so he got a wierd look on his.. face?



Now I just need to get some pics of the Blue Heron that craps on my canvas all the time...
