A few random shots...

Here are some shots I've taken over the last few days with my new setup. Enjoy.

1. A hopper drying off after some heavy rains.

2. Some kind of fly doing the same.

3. A pair of earwigs. They looked rather cute together.

4. A wasp feeding on some fallen apples. The ground nearby was just covered in wasps!

5. Gray garden slug (Deroceras reticulatum).

6. Robust Lancetooth (Haplotrema vancouverense) snail reading a soggy newspaper with one eye.

7. Finally, some sort of fungus. I don't know what it is, but I loved the shape.

Good control of lighting. Water drops add interest. #1 is good pose. #3, the second, out of focus one distracts. Like #6 at technical level and is also pleasing to the eye - good sense of curves and warm coloration, I might have added a bit of gain to the mid-tones to bring the bubbly pattern out more (you have room at the dark end for this). All except the #2 could tolerate some boost in sharpness (though not much for #1).

Very nice indeed. Water drops on the eyes are great.

I like #2 and #5 for composition and subjects, #5 mostly for composition.

Did you shoot these with the PowerShot?

These were shot with my new Sony A35 and a Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro. Just got it a couple of weeks ago.
