Turks Cap and Katydid series. - 07-20-2011, 08:40 AM

Critique: NC:

These are some of the photos I made last week at Brazos Bend SP by Old Horseshoe Lake. This little guy was having breakfast on a Turks Cap wildflower...I think it was as happy eating as I was shooting the action. I'm still field testing the new Tamron AF 180/3.5 macro lens and really liking it so far... being able to switch from horizontal to vertical without removing the camera from the tripod and the extra working distance are really nice. I think I'm going to keep it!

180 mm F/16 @1/8 second ISO 200 on a tripod in natural light.
