You probably did too.

Great hummingbird pictures. I even like the chipmunk image, even though they are sort of squirrels. Squirrels are evil!

I occasionally get lucky enough to get some shots when critters are having a bit of a snack. Usually the snack is not terribly pleased with it. I'll start it off with this robber fly munching on some kind of bee.

Thanks. I sort of liked my caption a little better, but your photo was definitely the superior. Remember, this is a photography forum, not a writing forum. ;) I use Photoshop for my stacking, so I'm not much help there. I don't use focus stacking that often, however. I do try and keep my...

Decided to shake things up a little today, and headed over to Cypress Gardens. Now don't get too excited, the macro lens never came off the Z7ii. There were a few different critters however. These are most likely stink bug nymphs. There were a ton of them. When I first saw them, they were...

Congratulations. Great photo.

Went for another walk in the yard this morning. I also added one from yesterday.

Around here we call them a rookery.

Always get an insurance shot. Last year I had an owl fly up and land on a branch not too far away from me. I went ahead and took a couple shots before trying to move a little closer. Good thing I did, as it flew off as soon as my hand touched the tripod.

I love a good cat picture!

You never know what monsters may be lurking in your yard.

Thanks for the kind words. This time of year, macro is the most accessible for wildlife photography. The heat and humidity here can be rather oppressive for other types of outings, especially at my age. When I was in my early 20s, I could mow the lawn in 90+ degree heat and barely be damp under...

You probably know this but just for clarity, as long as you have the metadata in your image file, which the ones you posted do, others with a browser add on can read the data about your photo. For example, the photo you posted above was shot at 19mm on 08/08/2012 at 17:49:56, focus at infinity...

Great shot! Hummingbirds are notoriously hard to shoot.

I decided to try a different aspect ratio composition on the frog picture. Not sure if I like it better than the 3:2. It seems to have better balance.

Managed to get a better shot, IMO, of this guy today. I would have liked to have done a focus stack on this, but it was an awkward position making it extremely difficult to take a series. I thought about getting my tripod from the house and try and put it in position, which would have destroyed...

Around here they are most commonly seen feeding in shallow water.

The only thing I would advise is to call and find out what the cost is likely to be. Then check out the price of a used copy of this lens. I had a 105mm micro with a problem. The estimated cost to have it repaired was more than the cost of a used in excellent to like new condition. The other...
