Snappy, I persevered and stalked the butterfly! Lowa, its a close up setting on the lens and these are the best out of the loads and loads I took. Granny, thankyou, not as amazing as you!! Peppylady, I am using a Cannon Powershot S2IS and these pictures are all taken on macro setting. Wildside, you are very welcome, Sigrun, thankyou, I bought this camera in February, I particularly like its close-up ability.
Claire, you did wonderfully with the macro in these shots. My camera is a Powershot S410 and I too love the macro capability. All in all it's a great little camera! I'm totally amazed at the butterfly. Do you know what kind it is? I don't recognize that flower either. Geum maybe? Such detail in the bee! I love your kitty shots below too. That's a big dollhouse!
Patsy, I have a friend who keeps bees, she is the one who persuaded me to let some of the weeds grow in the garden and the bees do like it. Kerri, the butterfly is a Peacock and its on a white buddlea. Madcapmum, thankyou but now I am concerned , you have to breath deeply and calmly and notnear anything you are allergic too!! Methuselah, get you camera out! your photos are great!!
Crunchy Carpets, thankyou and you are very welcome. Mouse, thanks for visiting, like you ACLU post, I might send them one too! Lisa, I am using a canon C2 1S and it has a 'macro' setting for close ups, I also sometimes trim the photgraph to get it more central and please remember I take about 50 pictures and only post a couple of good ones, I am not that brilliant I can get it in one go, thank goodness for digital cameras!!
Beautiful pics.So close up you can see the eye of the Bee.I have not got a butterfly yet, they are too flighty.
