Pictures now smaller....and yes.

That's not the same dragonfly I saw. Too much details have now been lost.

Yes you're right Tim. When it was suggested to resize the image for the forum, I was at work and therefore didn't have access to the original. So I took the easy option....downloaded from the forum, resized and reposted.

I guess the multiple saving to JPG didn't do it any favours.

I don't know the name of this insect. 2-3 mm in length. C & C are welcome

[AllanC]

Erad, those are great shots! Did you get them with your 28-90, or your 70-300?
(I hope the 70-300, because then maybe there's hope for me ... )

[Erad]

thanks torlaj, and yes they were from my 70-300 sigma.

This moth was already dead when I posed and shot it.

Found this little spiky guy in Bermuda...

... taken with a TZ1 ( ), but I'm thinking of getting a Nikon D50. Would the stock lens and equipment work OK for macros like this?
