Small things seen up close. Work in progress…

A tiny geranium flower…

Amazing!👍

The lines of their bodies match the lines of the vegetation. The great colors also add to the picture.

Another small hoverfly…

A Crane fly with red eyes.

Panasonic GH4 + Nikon 70-200 at ~150mm, Achromatic Close-Up lens

A good specimen.
“Típulas” are tricky subjects to photograph: the large ones have a nice structure, but they tend to frequent areas with thick vegetation and often result in somewhat chaotic compositions. Here's one with green eyes...

The smaller ones have less detail, but i think they usually offer more interesting or, at least, cleaner compositions...

Nice pics!👍

Fabulous captures.

A light a little too harsh, but this little one wanted a photo…

These bugs don't usually have many fans, but some have pretty colors...

¡Hola!
With these tiny subjects, I often wonder if it's even worth taking out the camera because I know in advance there won't be much detail to work with. Then, when I see these small worlds on screen, I'm glad I took the shot...

So, a reddish one.😀

And from another angle.

A good pair of images. I have another red one here, with black stripes. Or is it black, with red stripes?

I think it's black with red stripes, because its legs are also black.😀

Ehhh… he/she may be wearing black stockings. Because…

Well, I did a Google search and, apparently, there are several subspecies with black or red legs. And they are described as red with black stripes.
To avoid further confusion, I'm uploading a green one with black details. Or a black one with green parts... 😆

Black eyes…

These are super restless, very fast, I've never been able to get close to one before. I think this one had come out onto the warm sheet metal looking for a bit of warmth on a cool morning, and it gave me a chance before disappearing...
