One of many from my quick shoot today at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, WA.

Morning dew on a vacant web.

Taken in my backyard, The Netherlands. Made with a Canon 350d, 60mm EF-S Macro, corrected with standard iPhoto correction.

This was taken in the blazing sun at the Singapore Zoo-- on a pond covered with giant lilly pads. I was chasing after the dragonflies and didn’t notice the frog until I got home and looked at the image in Photoshop. I’m sure the result would have been better with a proper macro lens, but I left mine at home (the 300mm and tripod is heavy enough).

Pollination overdose in macro.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Exposed for 1/125 second at 100mm, f/4.5, ISO 200.

Shot taken in July, 2009. Canon EOS 450D, Canon EF-S 60mm USM Macro lens. Color effects applied with Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete in Photoshop CS4. I don't really know the name of the flower, but I can assure you that it's beautiful... Enjoy :D

Close up taken with my new digital SLR camera in my Nan's garden.

Taken at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, at the rim of a pond in the middle of the gardens. I've been trying to get a macro shot of a dragonfly's face for the past couple of weeks at that pond, but it is tough because they tend to look out on the water, not back toward where I can perch myself. They also fly away if you're not careful. For some reason, perhaps because it had just rained, this particular dragonfly took very little notice of me and let me get a decent shot-- this is perhaps the best I can do with the current equipment I am using.

There were lots of bees buzzing around in the park so I tried to get a few shots with my macro lens. I thought this one came out good. They were moving from one flower to the next in a matter of seconds so it was hard to catch one in focus.

A blue dragonfly on a blue pond at Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Madison, Wisconsin. The diagonal line formed by the stone fits perfectly into this picture.
