I recently purchased a 100mm macro lens for my camera. I’ve not been able to test it in a great scale yet, but watch this space when life starts popping up outdoors in the next few weeks. While we are waiting you might like to have a look at these two as well. Leaf 2, leaf 3 (with extension ring).
It seems that I always am out traveling. Not really, but I just came back from a little winter holiday. Norwegians have a lot of vacation protected by law. I guess this is some of the benefits of living in one of the Scandinavian countries.
My last visit was to Gran Canaria, one of the Canary islands. One morning I woke up early and went for a walk on the beach outside our hotel. Not many people visible, but I saw some traces of life.
All these images are also available at my flickr account
We are visiting Rome, and for the first time I got an inkling about how many 5 million starlings are (also see BBC).
I played around with my extension rings and my 50 mm 1.4 lens this weekend and maybe I got some of the last few insects and flowers of the summer/autumn on "film". I haven’t been able to test out all of my extension rings since I bought them earlier this summer.
This weekend though, I just felt that I had to do something. So this is one of my lucky shots. This bastard fled just a few seconds later. Actually I only got this one picture of this fly.
