some Mt Coot-tha macros - bit rusty

Been a while since I shot macro. Not many keepers and these were kinda scraping the barrel even.

Quite lucky to get close to the damselfly. The second shot was shot at 2:1 magnification with the MP-E 65 at about 60mm from the front of lens. They're very timid but if you don't make any sudden moves, stay out of the sunlight so you don't throw a shadow on them, and move slowly, you can get close. Just missed focus on the eyes by less than a millimetre.

The lynx spider shot isn't really that good, just liked how he was waving hello to me

All shots uncropped.
