I needed your expertise when I saw this Goompa for I haven't got the gear to show it, but I tried anyway.

It is not always Bugs and Bities , sometimes just a simple weed , "tis nature nonetheless .

Keep pushing your macro work matey, each pic seems to be better

than the previous one and they're all great.

I join the chorus. It's great enjoyment to see the progress.

[Goompa]

Thanks guys , I feel humbled...it has been a fantastic journey with all you great people , still waiting to be ushered out of here though

Hey Goomps, if you really want to frustrate yourself, pick up a Raynox DCR-150 to start with. You'll need an step ring from whatever size your chosen lenses are to 43mm.

4-way macro focusing rail is imperative along with a macro ring flash. These can be picked up pretty darn cheap.

Cheers M , I am already frustrated so what the heck ! The information I have is that Raynox is going to finish distribution soon , so I have to get the hiney into gear to purchase .

I have been following your thread and your gantry into second mortgage as well , cheers , but this year I want to get airborne , there is a guy Youseya or something like that that takes immaculate images of snowflakes with a budget I figure of maybe $300 . damn fine work as well.

I would just like to thank you and everyone else for their likes and kind comments for my effort , I recall 12 months ago I was floundering , now I flounder with more information .

Think I had better stick to the butterflies (and birds) Goompa these bugs are to small for me.

Common Ciliante Blue.

Who thinks up these names anyway ?

Try one of these today.

Good point - but some have the wings pretty well absent (vestigial)- although the distinction between grasshoppers, crickets and katydid often seems blurred.

[Goompa]

Maybe it is just a Leaf-hopper like the one I spotted today on the Basil plants , this one is a different colour though it has many similarities to the green fella .

ie ; small , bug , on a leaf ? I am no good at identification , surprised these little guys let me take their photo at all
