    When we post a comment and later note a typo—or two—or –is there a way to edit that comment?

    Found myself in a photography quandary. very little time to shoot, unusually wet weather all summer and fall with leaden skies day after day. Some gorgeous autumn days interspersed, but this were the days working on other stuff. SO, decided to get back to just walking around for short periods with the Sony 6500 or Sony a7M2 with a goal in mind. Very helpful!

    Technically, this is not a Machro. I shot it with my iPhone. It had been a heavy foggy morning, hence the dew. I don’t know if the bee survived. But it was a wonderful chance to see a bee like never before.

    This was taken in one of our popular Nature reserves in the Western Cape, South Africa.

    I was walking up a path through the woods one evening and saw this beautiful flower.

    Grape hyacinths in my wife’s garden, a delight this year. A year ago she went through chemotherapy so neither of us could enjoy them.

    I bought my camera as an early birthday present a year ago. Always wanted to get into shooting Macro. Found this little shell with what appears to be a fossilized worm on a shell on the beach in Georgetown SC. One of my first attempts at Macro. Still a lot to learn but enjoying the process.

    I was in the backyard watering the flowers when I noticed this little insect flittering about some of them, I ran inside to grab the camera and snapped a few quick images, Happy about the results considering it was handheld, it felt like it knew I was taking his picture because he seemed to linger for 1-2 minutes

    This beautiful flower grows on a vine that is attached to my parents mailbox. I happened to glance down one day at one of the flowers and this colorful beetle bug was on it.

    Please excuse the 2 typos. The period after ‘my own’ should not be and bloom needs and ‘s’.

    A recurring theme of mine in macro is the contrast of delicate blooms against hard stone wherever found.

    I’m currently in a learning mode as a photographer but I definitely want to be a professional.

    I feel that proper identification of subjects is important in nature photography, especially macro. I work hard at this but still make mistakes! This is not a bee, but a long-legged fly. A quick tell is the size and placement of the eyes and especially the very small non-segmented antennae.

    I love macro photography and especially of plants and bees. Because of lockdown most of my photographs have been taken in my own back garden, which I have really enjoyed. I am really impressed with the macro photographs on show. Brilliant.

    I have always wanted to get a shot of these seeds so I had a chance one Sunday morning the light was hitting them just right.

    Beautifully detailed and composed. It seems you kept wonderful color from the rose. Each droplet is a crystal ball. Very nice.
