I like to take macro shots of praying mantis. They seem to have individual personalities. What do you like to take macros of?

Hummingbird Nectar recipe?

applsofgld @applsofgld (2506) • United States 20 Jul 07

Does anyone have a recipe for hummingbird nectar? I read somewhere that the red food coloring is not necessary, but the premixed nectar I bought was red. The mix looked much like jello before you mix it with water.

The hummingbirds have been busy visiting the feeders and flowers. It is entertaining watching them chasing each other.

Tiny bugs

parkwaybandit @parkwaybandit (15) • United States 22 Aug 07

This tiny bug was hard to photograph. Most of my photography is done in the shade. I never seem to have enough light to get a large enough deph of field. This photo was taken with a canon 400d with a 100mm macro lens.
