So I have been doing some Macro Photography
here & there and I found out a few things such as:

#1 When a bug sees my hulking mass bend down towards it it usually flees in fear.
#2 A gentle breeze is like a hurricane when trying to focus on a flower or a bug on a leaf.
#3 Depth of field is a bitch when it comes to Macro Photography.
#4 A sweat bead will roll into your eyes at the critical moment of focus.
#5 The results are really cool when it all comes together.

Here's a few Marco images I have taken with my Canon 40D Sigma 150mm 2.8 APO Macro Lens DG HSM lens & Canon MR-14EX Ring light

I went to Wakodahatchee Wetlands tonight for the fist time in a long time as I have been really working the evenings at Long Key Park in Davie, FL.

It was rather quiet at Wako but I did manage to capture an image of a Female Boat Tailed Grackle that had some leucistic genes. Here's an image.

Here's another image from Gatorland in Orlando . It is a Osprey in full dive mode
for a fish that was directly in front of me.... he missed.

I also just got my Canon Mark 1D2N back from canon today after shutter failure occurred last week. Cost $50.00 for shipping & Insurance and $323.00 for repair. Ouchhhh.
The only good thing to come out of this is I REALLY appreciate my Canon 40D. It is a smashing good camera.
