Up Close.

I have been working in Devon and Cornwall over the last 2 weeks and have taken most of these Macro shots around the outbuilders and Station yards. John

  15. Thanks everyone for your great comments, we do appreciate them.
    Andy and Tim, as you know I mostly do Digiscoping using a Nikon P6000, so unlike Sue I do not use a DSLR or Macro Lens. You may be surprised to learn that most of the Insect Macro shots are taken using a Samsung Digimax camera. Out of all the small cameras this one gives best results on Macro but you do have to get fairly close. Just goes to show that you don't always need to spend hundreds on a Macro Lens. Sue takes the majority of the Butterflies and Dragonflies. John
