Little beetles feasting on a Dandelion

[fastson]

This little guy was very hard to photograph. Not only is the visibility of the lens (Spiratone Macro 1:3.5 35mm) very poor when set at f8, I didnt have a tripod (becase I forgot to transfer the quick release from my A700 to the A100) and he kept walking around. It felt like I was juggling when trying to cover my eyes from the sun, keep the camera still on what stable surface I had but also keeping the focus on him all at the same time.



I got about 3-4 sharp shots of him before he turned around and gave me the finger.



This shot was taken with my Tamron 90mm

Nice pictures. Like them all.

I had forgotten all about that old click-stop bellow 35mm macro lens. I used to have one under a different brand. I'd buy another if I ever saw one.
