some frogs, birds, and bugs, an exercise in macro!

hey guys, i was down at my parents place this weekend, and managed to grab a few decent shots. please note, these are all FULL FRAME shots.

the first two are the same dragon fly, he was good enough to sit still for me to grab a dozen macro attempts of his head. funny thing was, this blue dragon fly, was EATING a red dragon fly, as illustrated by the second photo. taken with the 50mm prime reversed on the 28-90mm lens on the 400D

the third is, of course, of a frog looking all-too-comfortable in the hand hold of an old wooden crate.

the fourth is of a scaly-breasted Lorikeet on a bird feeder. i mananged to get within arm's reach of this little guy.

the fifth is a macro of a red dragon fly. he sat sat so still for so long. i easily managed two dozen shots of this guy. taken with the 50mm prime reversed on the 28-90mm lens on the 400D

the sixth is of a galah that had just landed. taken through the ED80 with the Canon 350D.
