Black Stink Bug

It was a busy weekend and I had very little time to take photos, so I’ve pulled a few of my favorite macro photos I’ve taken this year. Enjoy!

Great photos – not sure how to use the macro thingy on my camera

If your camera has a MACRO setting, just give it a try. Holding the camera steady really helps with MACRO shots. This week I’m investing in a Monopod to help hold my camera steady when not using a tripod.

You are so kind Scott. Believe me, it is just LUCK and the camera at work here…. but I love taking them anyway. I usually shoot about 10-15 shots per subject and then pick the best ones.

Great photos, some of the best I have seen in a while. I love garden photography also, but don’t think my photos come close to yours.
