Took the wrong lens...

This is a discussion on Took the wrong lens... within the Macro forums, part of the Showcase category; this morning. Should've had my 105mm macro lens instead of the 300mm and extension. Anyway, found a nice dewfall down ...

Took the wrong lens... - 08-14-2009, 09:32 AM

this morning. Should've had my 105mm macro lens instead of the 300mm and extension. Anyway, found a nice dewfall down at Carter Creek and found a few damp critters.

#1 Hoverfly

#2 Hopper

#3 Bad camera positioning on this little damsel, but it had already flown once, so I took what I could get

Thanks for looking.

Kenny

You did very well with the "wrong" lens.

Thanks fellas. Appreciate the look. Tom, I couldn't really tell what that was. Hoverflies are not predacious, that I know of. But, I'm not an entomologist either.

They look good to me Kenny. Sometimes the "wrong lens" brings a pleasant surprise. I am a firm believer in unconventional experimentation.

Why didn't you bring the 105 Kenny? I'm waiting to get out in some dew!
