Using the Sony Macro 90mm and ideally you want complete stillness and little movement, but bee's move a lot - so a fast shutter speed at the sacrifice of detail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/93959eb9-1b08-40b6-8792-cb7bdca5b726/DSC07209.jpg Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/6a8e5baa-2f8b-4ae4-a677-45581ee5964d/DSC05740.jpg Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images Sony 90mm Macro image - picture tells it's own story - ver to you nature! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/f05afa77-2ab3-44f5-81cf-9ca664c1ced6/_DSC1239a%400.75x.png Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images Surreal bonnet of VW Polo - Macro mania https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/552d9af7-4169-4bcc-8946-dc9c0ec79706/IMG_0067.jpg Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images Sony 90mm macro shot, it was dark and a torch was used to create the odd lighting effect around the spider. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/696624af-dc56-4a4b-9af8-772b3053dabe/IMG_0088.jpg Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/15250249-ef97-41ce-90a8-5d82381567fe/IMG_0036.jpg Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images Another 90mm Sony macro image - this was the tiniest snail, must have been about 15mm in length - stunning colours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/56a7fabd-28e7-46f3-a5be-da9338caf2c7/_DSC4704.png Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images Sigma 35mm F1.4 art lens - sunlight silhouettes through https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/c23093fc-67a1-43ec-944c-69ab08faded6/DSC02770.png Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/ad190bc6-8cf0-4631-aab6-f7ad63dd9406/sheep19421%400.75x.png Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/63fdfb50-d280-4778-b9ae-3c0c3f3c268d/DJI_0782%400.25x.png Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images A late evening at sunset, crazy shadows and I was just blown away when I took the drone up and looked down on the camera view - drones really add some amazing perspectives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/5e22eb58-6234-41a5-9d2d-66d5d8d616de/DSC01036%400.5x.png Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images Sony 24-105 F4 - Seaford Golf course in Winter - reminded me of a Lowry painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/707d289f-330f-459f-b72f-660b22e1c5a2/woods22%400.5x.png Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef116696a9ec7fa13a8a6a/5daeca09-c60e-4960-9061-e57e22b8aad5/_DSC8480.jpg Work - Landscapes, Macro's & experimental images Love them or not Spiders are just so creative - just look at that weaving skill!
