Summer Bugs

Hope you all had a good summer solstice.  With summer well and truely underway it tends to be macro season for me.  With so many bugs, bees and damselflies about and nice bright Sunlight to light them it all comes down to skill, patience and a steady aim..

A banded demoiselle about to land on a lily pad.  Actually taken with my 100-400mm with x1.6 teleconverter.  Another lens combination that really needs a bright subject..

Bees, always busy and always looking good in purple..

Tiny flies always make for great shots it seems, with only about 3cm of background to keep clean they tend to make nice simple compositions.
