Some Arty Macro Shots

A few close up arty shots shots taken recently.

Firstly a Five-spot Burnet Moth, I hadn't photographed one of these day flying moths before, a new species is always nice to find.

Secondly a ladybird. I wanted to include the patterns of the fern to give the images more interest, rather than it just sat on a leaf.

A bit of Macro Photography

At this time of year bird photography becomes a little quiet and so out comes the macro lens.  I don't usually go out with the intention of photographing anything specific, it's more of a case of whatever I come across, I only really dabble as macro photography is an art in itself. Here are a few of my recent attempts.

Beautiful Demoiselle Damselfly
