Just some photos from today that I would like to share.

The 100% crops of the damselfly's lunch isn't for the faint of heart. You can see each piece of flesh being ripped off the juicy fly.

wow amazing pictures. What camera and lens were you using?

Beautiful shots. I particularly like the dew laden plant (shot #2), damselfly #4 and the green fuzzy plant seed pods.

Terrific camera!

Your last shot of the fly seem a bit bright perhaps? Nice focus and great detail though.

All the photos you see here are shot with:
180 f3.5 macro (which needs to be fixed, the lens mount is coming loose)
Canon EOS 1Ds mk2
580EX flash

I accidentally left my tripod at home, otherwise my photos are always shot from a tripod.

ReefBase, I agree with you that the bee fly is a bit "hot". Unfortunately, the sun was so harsh that day, some of these shots were taken by casting my own shadow across the subject.

Cool stuff Louis. It's good to see you posting again.
