Thanks AFB! It's a bit old but it's a remainder of the good times. Probably 5, 6am yeah!

Went out to one of the local botanical gardens to look for ideas for the resurrection of my yard after the upcoming invasion of earth movers next week .....

Hugh, were you able to get any images of the wasps face? I know it's not any easy thing to do with them being so nasty!

I hadn't seen this behaviour before. Thanks for the share.

Very cute POV!

Very cute POV!

Thanks. I'm renting a 10-22mm (I'm on a crop sensor) for the weekend and I figured that my dog was the obvious choice for the first test subject.

Have fun with it. That's a versatile lens on a crop body. I loved my 11-16mm on my cropped body and really miss them.

Only out of focus shots of his head I'm afraid - he was moving too quickly

Why when shooting insects like this, the best composition are always out of focus? The ones of the insect butt, you always nail!
I need to find slower insects!

I interviewed Chris Packham, many years ago, when he was trying to make his way in nature photography. He confessed that he put butterflies in the freezer for a while; it slowed them down, apparently, and made them easier to photograph...

Very nice. You must have been up early!

I keep coming back to this image. Something compelling about it.

On the wee beastie theme, hand held shot with 24-105 at about closest focal point. Not pin sharp but at least it's the right end! Comments always appreciated.
