They are sharper than mine now - I'll have to get a proper macro lens to keep up.

I was about 20CM away, if that!

I love the detail it's caught in the eyes. Especially with the rain drop.

I took about 250 shots and these two were the best.

You are capturing a lot more detail than I am that's for sure!

Those last two you put up are on a par with what I get. The 60mm lens I use is really sharp and I do have a 24mp camera which helps a bit.

I may get the Sony 90mm macro in the future - we shall see.

Thank you Paul, that really means a lot to hear that!

I'm hoping to go out tomorrow morning and have another play.

I went out this afternoon when it finally stopped raining and managed to give my new lens a bit of exercise:

Very nice Phil. Th 4th one looks like a bee of some sort but I have no shots of one that dark.

Good job.

Thanks Paul.
I'm really enjoying it.
I will keep at it and try to increase the sharpness if I can.

I thought it looked like a bee but I'd never seen one all black before.

I think there are many types of bee but only one honey bee. I got this chap the other day - he had a really high pitched buzz - a bit like a mosquito. It was about half the size of a honey bee.



A bee - no idea what sort.

That's a good shot.

I guess there are lots of different bees. If he was a bee he wasn't doing a lot. I've never seen a bee sat still doing nothing before.

If you zoom into the picture, there is what looks like another eye above the big eye.... How many eyes do these things have!!
