My Bug collection so far...

[fotophia]

Hey im not a fan of bugs at all but over the months ive starting photographing them. I use a standard lense (so its very difficult) and on some photos put on maximum size so i have more room to crop.

Enjoy!

BEES - they are slighly blurry because i caught it in a glass and it was a nightmare photographing through it
1) "dont look at me!" i think this one is cute because it looks like its hiding its face!

Cool! Did you reverse the lens or just crop loads? The bees ones and the last fly one's my favorite. Fantastic level of detail :thumbup:

Glass or no glass: the detail of the bee photos is still very, very good! I like all these and I understand why the last two are so far your favourites!

Numbers 1, 10 and 11 are my favs, but taking pics of spiders is just sick
