More Insect Macro Shots

Here are some more, sorry for the delay.

Insect Macro Shots are Coming!!!

I will upload more later tonight or tomorrow. I hope this shot will satiate you for now.

Sunday!

A good day for photojournalism!!! This morning found me being awoken by a rancid smoke wafting in my open bedroom window. As a siren blared in the distance, I jumped to my feet, grabbed my camera and ran out the door. Scanning the sky, I saw smoke about two blocks south-east of my apartment, so I ran towards it. As I ran up the concrete stairs to the 99 freeway, I took these pictures.

Luckily it wasn't a house fire, but a homeless camp whose occupants were attempting to cook up some meth (at least that's what I gathered from the eyewitness reports of two explosive concussions prior to the fire). The fire quickly burned itself out and I went on my way.

On the walk back to my apartment, I noticed that the morning dew was covering some of the very beautiful flowers that line Dexter Ave N. Some bees were out also and with some patience, I managed to get some manual focus macro shots. Check them out!

Green Lake, Seattle, Wa -- Garden Flower Macro

Flowers are an endless source of entertainment for a macro photographer. Not only do they provide color and good opportunity for creative depth-of-field, but also occasionally you will catch an insect in the act of gathering pollen.

This first photo was taken when the dew was just evaporating from the morning sun.
