 went to Mt Buller for a day trip. Havent tried macro for a long time.
 came across these two busy at it!
   a moth
   didnt realise how difficult it is to this moth. a slight breeze kept swaying the flower stem, 90% of the photos were blurred.
 i have a profound respect for macro photographers, the patience that is needed!
 tech info:
 afd 70-210 and PK-13

 Great shots Genji!  I love the "expressions" on the faces of the first picture.  I keep looking at their eyes.  The second picture is very pretty.  Yes, moths are very hard to catch!  Well done!

 At least it looks like they are enjoying themselves....are these the ones where the female will rip the male's head off right after the deed is done?

 Genji
 Both interesting shots - subject matter is nice & sharp and they're well framed in the shot.  I even like the slightly unusual border.

 Genji, what border did you use again for this?  Is it like a Photoshop action? Darryl  (aka Kipper)Nikon D200

 I prefer the 2nd pic. The background of the 1st pic is distracting.  I also believe that you can move closer to get a higher magnification.

 kipper the borders came from here http://www.atncentral.com/download.htm#Image_Enhancements stubbsy, its a polariod frame border, i overlayed the blending.
 the couple were lying in the middle of the track, almost stepped on them!    I also have a side view, but thought i would keep this post clean     they certainly took their time, the 70-210 with PK13 combination doesnt meter or focus, so manually metered, took some time to find correct exposure and focus!

 I like the first one more than the second, great color and seems sharp and detailed... This macro stuff looks really interesting... Aka Andrew
