The bee was really busy on that Zinnia, a perfect subject to test out the new lens.

This Bee was enjoying a Zinnia on my balcony very much and I had the chance to try out my new lens on it! I didn’t take this photo with the Beroflex and the macro tubes, but with a Tamron 70-300 with an 1:2 macro switch – ideal for getting close to insects without disturbing them.

This allium blossom was already bent down, but the bumblebee didn’t mind!/p>

More of that metallic green fly, probably drunk on nectar!

Crossy Spider 2017 Edition

I saw the first tiny little Garden Cross Spider on the balcony a couple of days ago. This was again taken with the Beroflex 28mm M42 lens and an 16mm extension tube. Still practicing!
