Mercer Arboretum pt I - 08-29-2010, 08:42 AM

Went down to Mercer Arboretum in Houston TX for a few hours this morning. Pleasant morning, for a change. Took the Canon 20D and MP-E w/reversed Telemore95 TC. All shots handheld. EXIF should be intact.

#1 Syrphid fly Ocyptamus, I believe

#2 A butt shot, as one of my friends calls them

More later.

These are very nice images, Kenny - the first one is excellent.

FYI, you got a couple of tiny (and I mean tiny) dust spots that could use a little cloning work.

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Yeah, John, I need to have another go at that sensor with a good wet cleaning.
