A few from yesterday (Sony A300)

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm 99% certain I wouldn't have got shots this nice with my 400D.....
All taken with the Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro.

I called these fairies when I was a kid!!!!



Not sure what this little fella is?



I know what this is!!





Comments....??

Nice vivid colour on the Geranium.

I used to call them fairy clocks

Looks like a Hoverfly

i like number 2 the most.

think number one looks a little soft?! maybe the DOF is slightly too shallow, but thats just my thinking. still to try macro even though i have the lens sitting there!
