some macro captures of Amazing Nature props

I bring today some macro beauties for your eyes. All the captures were taken this summer with Canon 5D and Sigma 150mm lens, no tripod was used, and it was only natural lighting. Nature provided all the rest.

It is a rare occasion when I had the opportunity to shoot a close-up of this mademoiselle. They usually fly like mad and do not let anyone near them. And here the sunny weather coincided, a dragonfly froze motionless on a flower, and me.

Unidentified blue moth (he was infected with tiny orange parasite). It was very chrming and beautiful.

A lichen-covered pine branch that I photographed in a swamp. Two sorts of different species here, actually.


A bee on a cornflower flower. We planted several varieties of this flower on our suburban area, both me and my wife really like it. The bees also liked this flower very much, they flew in all the time to collect pollen from it. And it was funny to look at it.

This beetle is unknown to me, which I could not identify from a photograph. Handsome, isn't it?

An unknown one, again!

This one is a random photo of a fly, I took during one of the rainy days right under the rain. I have to say that this passenger, a simple fly benefits a lot to the photo.

Probably it is time to part our waves. Thank you for stopping by!

Amazing pictures 😍 you gave me the chance to see some insects close ups which otherwise I won't. Like the green spider ... in life if someone shows it to me, I'll be saying how beautiful it is ...but from a mile 😅
thats exactly why I love macro, why did I ventured into this field :P
ps. a set of extra-lens including macro and fish-eye, for your smartphone, can be obtained for very cheap, about 10-15 euros only. one need not necessarily a big camera and dedicated lens for 1000$ to shoot macros. thats a hint 😎
I might look in to this, now when I found #hive, a platform where I feel ok sharing my images and thoughts, I would love to have better pictures to share. ❤ thank you for your advice 🤗
Awesome macro photography @qwerrie 😎 .. they all look great, but the very last one with the little drop on the petal, the intense purple colour and tge decorative fly is definitely my favorite. But it's a hard call as all a great. The green spider is a nice capture too 👌 .. Nice compilation overall
thank you for choosing your favourite! maybe it is indeed the best. unlike others, in a way it displays something intresting, tells about a process that is going on during or after rain (insects are numb, have wet wings, and sit quietly awaiting for the wings to dry...) while other pics more of just a nice pics, simple as that :) -- !ENGAGE 25
Sigma did goog work... Nice pics.
thanks! I did some extra good efforts in PS, too ;-)

Прям красота....
Зеленый паук? Прям чудо.
природа полна таких чудес! но как видно на картинке, зеленый он не из-за хлорофилла, и питается не солнечной энергией. отнюдь!
А почему же он зеленый?
ну возможно его цвет означает любовь к вечнозеленой валюте? если он его выбирал сознательно, конечно. а может статься, что это бездумный эксперимент природы - в ее бесконечно эволюционной игре. шаг влево - шаг вправо - и посмотрим, что было ошибкой, а что даст бонус тому, кто первым добежит до старта?...
Я склоняюсь к лабораторным исследования Матери Природы. :)
разумно. во всяком случае, нам за ней такое известно точно. 🧐😜🙃
Ну ладно жучки и паучки. Но как ты так близко сфоткал ящерку? Она словно замерла для фотосессии.
вылезла погреться на доски. а у меня в руках был 150мм макро-телевик. поэтому я и фоткал сблизи, и получилось макро... с соответствующей глубиной резкости. ящерка была очень малютка.
Ну, примерно, так я и думал. Но всё же она прям вот сидела перед тобой!
ну, некоторое время посидела, да. на расстоянии 40-50 см. меняя позы время от времени.
40-50 - эот ж практически на расстоянии вытянутой руки.
ну да. ближе я и сфоткать бы не смог, макро-телевик фокусируется не меньше 30см. если отойти дальше - зона фокуса (глубина резкости) будет больше, но все изображение оказывается мельче, т.е. менее "макро".
Wow.
It's amazing what you show.
Cool.
Some of the macro pictures that you shared today are really all very beautiful, I really like every picture you shareSome of the macro pictures that you shared today are really all very beautiful, I really like every picture you share Thank you very much for sharing.
Этого жучка я слоником называю (не только я, но не уверен. что это официальное названеи))
Отличные макросы получились, дружище, а вот тот траяной паук опасен и для человека, если не ошибаюсь.
рад, что макросы понравились!
ага, слоник; у меня тоже что то такое в фоновом режиме проигрывается, такое имя.
а что не так с зеленым паучком? чем именно он может быть опасен таким громадинам, как мы?
