Bugs

[dfrear]

EDIT: Bugger - can someone move this please, didn't mean to post here!

Nothing special, was hoping someone could identify this little guy though:

And a fly who was nice enough to sit still for a second:

Got some very good shutter speeds on these but completely forgot to stop down so they arent as sharp as they could have been. Happy with them though and they look good in print even with the visible noise.

First time I've tried any sort of "bug" photography and found that I quite enjoy it. Also finding that I prefer wildlife photography over most other forms so it's time to start saving for a fancy long lense and go sit in a bush someplace

Both allow clickthrough for larger (recommended). If anyone is interested I was using the Sigma 70-300 APO DG handheld for these shots - both at f/5.6 I believe and would of been much better at f/7.1 or f/8

C&C Welcomed & appreciated

Could be a Damsel fly.
