Camera Labs

Greg you always amaze me with your close ups, but compliments to everyone for great shots too. This is my first try in this tread, I don't really have dedicated equipment for this kind of shots but this is something I made yesterday with my 80-200mm F4.5 1:4 macro, I didn't bother using extension tubes but I know it would bring me in closer.

That's a nice shot, like the composition.

Thank you Nelepl - glad you like them I see you are in Calgary, spent many great days there, and further up in the Rockies - you live in one of the best parts of the World!

Thanks Greg, it is beautiful here indeed, unfortunately I don't see much of the Rockies lately, I don't have a car for quite some time now. But I do work in Kananaskis Country which is just before the mountains south west of Calgary and it is amazing nature.

New one, using the leaf as boat to drink water

Loads of bees out today. Will post more when I have time (Les experts is about to come on:))

Another not a bee

All shots taken with Lumix GH1, with canon 50mm FD, P mode, Iso 100-800. I varied the aperture and ISO, next time ill write these things down. using FD lenses means manual focus only. All shots hand-held.
