[Carolina Photo Guy]

Just so you know newb- When I "like" your bug shots it's due to the technical and creative merit, as far as the subjects..., YUCK!

Rick, if you chew these subjects with a piece of bacon, they ain't so "yuck"!

I was thinking along the same lines.., perhaps chocolate coated, seems to work with ants

Jumping bug versus jumping spider.

 

[Just-Clayton]

No winners! After I took the shot, the flash scared both and they jumped in opposite directions.

 

[Just-Clayton]

I love this close up. His head looks like a Darth Vader.

 

[Rick M]

Last one looks pissed at you! I think if he were big enough, you wopuld have been lunch

 

[westmill]

Looks like Darth Vader in fancy dress

 

[Just-Clayton]

It's funny to get close to the bugs. If they feel threatened they will go under the leaf it is on.

 

[Just-Clayton]

Heres a great looking May fly from the other day. I'm used to seeing only the small yellow ones.

 

[Rick M]

Lol, You're daughter is "great looking", not that bug

There is a very lucky guy out there, hope he's good enough!

 

[Just-Clayton]

He is Rick. They have lived together since she graduated(5yrs). He actually asked me for her hand in marriage. You dont see that very often. I asked my father-in-law and he said "you can have her". lol

 

[Rick M]

That's good to hear! I wish them the best. I hope you are going to be a guest and not a photographer on the big day!

 

[Just-Clayton]

I think I might start a Macro Bug Blog. This way I can show multiple shots and let you know what kind of bug it is.

 

[Just-Clayton]

That's good to hear! I wish them the best. I hope you are going to be a guest and not a photographer on the big day!

Thanks Rick!! We have another photographer for the wedding. She did ask me to shoot the pre-wedding shots. That will be fun!! Besides, carrying around my camera after drinking a few is like driving a car after a few. (not a good idea) Right now my camera is worth more than my car. LOL

 

[Eye-level]

Wow Newb you always struck me as being in your 30s...you're an old man with a beautiful daughter like that...hahaha JK

 

[Just-Clayton]

I'm at the ripe old age of 45. But , holding on to 29 as long as I can.

 

[Eye-level]

45 doesn't surprise me...I'm 42 and act like a 19 year old it just hurts more and takes longer to heal...see I thought you were in your late 30s so wasn't to far off...time is really starting to get away from me fast nowadays...

A stunner! Congratulations for the wedding! I agree for the camera! Don't drink and shoot, just smoke n' fly!
