I spied this critter on our window so I was able to get upper and under photos. I used my new macro lens (Nikon 40mm fixed focal length with a maximum aperture of f/2.8). I didn’t do too bad – I like the first one with the bug reflected in the glass (twice). And check out those ears will ya!
i was gonna say the same thing – like the reverberations in the first one. :)
Fun! Love that it stayed so still for you!
The first one is my favorite too Barb.
It really is a wonderful shot.
The 40mm is a wonderful lens, and I love the fact that it’s so light, yet works so beautifully as a macro. it’s also a great portrait lens.
Have fun with it!!
Great shots! No1 is my favorite, too. It seems that I bought the wrong lense with 50mm ….

Enjoy your new lens…what fun! :)
Great shot! Just out of interest what macro lens is it? I just purchased the Nikon 105mm vr macro.
Fun! I’ve been trying out a few macro lens’ myself. I need to pick one!
You should link up with Macro Monday now that you are shooting Macro shots … it is fun to see what others are doing with it.

Great bug shots … especially that first one!
You made the stink bug striking. My mom was squishing them all weekend because they had invaded her tomato plant and it was too late to use a insecticide. Good job.
These shots are amazing! I just can’t get over that first one – love love it!

Really like your first photo too. Glad you’re getting to experiment with your new lens. I’m hoping to purchase a macro lens in the next couple of months. Thanks for your gracious reaction to the intentions post the other day.
