macro 2 Untitled

Hello,

 

The water drops are dew and not sprayed, and they are 100% natural !!!

Beacouse I love nature I would never harm the insect in any manner. It is sad that some of you won't belive that, perhaps you never try to take photos so early. I just take photos of insects in theirs natural habitat and conditions, and dew is one of souch natural condition and it is all over the meadow, not only on insects. For those of you, who could not understand that, I could just suppose that you don't know the nature so well.

 

Thans for critiques

Peter

this is shure 100% natural, just go outside in early morning 5-6 am, and you will see that, but maybe you live in places that weather is not simillar, humidity, cold, condensation.

 

Great work Peter

I know bioligy and know when the weather goes rainy they try to find out shelter. I like to take pictures in this time because before rain they are what the Peter depicted, but ... I couldn't beliеve the insects aren't sprayed. Why? Because every one insect because morning and more over night temperatures went in shelters. This is first reason. Second- because my knowleg of biology I know that the dew will cover part of tracheols of insects. It means suffocation. Last reason why I couldn't beliеve is simple to know and calculate surface tension which will sustain in so small droplets water.

I took part of my pictures early morning too, but with leg or somthing additional (stick) I try to stir insects to emerg from thems shelters, then the low temperature helps to me, but dew I never saw.

Because of that I posted one my picture "Don't spray me". I know how some of insects (butterfly) to go on my hands a have perfect possibility to do with them very atractiv and good composed pictures but you could see I haven't no one. In the end about droplets, every one could read about biology in this case, about oil beetle.

Picture is perfect about this I have no one suspition but about droplets i am deep doubted. General reason more and more pictures with droplets you could see here. If so many insects stay in the night under open sky and so many photographers wake up so early morning...

I know very well part of technology for this pictures- vaporase anaesthetics, more over chlorethil could do even thermic shock in insect etc. I won't give information because of clear reasons.

In the end I'll repete the picture is Perfect!

The photographer says the drops are natural, so it is.

Why on earth should he lie?

What a joyful and colorful life of insects you presented. The crust of this bug is awesome.

Beautifully isolated. Awesome photograph. Congratulations for the POW!

I absolutely love this image. Colour, form, and balance are near-perfect in my opinion and it has a graphic simplicity which immediately draws the eye.

Beautiful macro.

 

What I like most here is the curve of the blade on the right side and the bug is looking towards the left. This was my first observation. And I think that this is what makes the shot. Opposites are always apealing. Very nice.

 

Sure the bg is nice. And about the droplets, this isn't a contest on how much a bug can get wet or not. Why do people "sweat" (play on words) on these details.

 

Personnaly, I think that if you try to spray a bug, it will fly away. But maybe I am wrong.

 

This image is not about discussing the count of drops. But if the photo is well done, apealing, distance subject to sensor plane, etc.

 

I give a 7-7 on this image.

 

Bravo!

Can you say "killer bokeh"? Seriously, that bokeh is about as good as it gets: smooth and creamy. Nice shot!

Bravo Peter - Misfits!

Hi Peter,you should know that there is this member(GOTINHA) at this site: http://pixdaus.com/?fun=2&name=GOTINHA . He has taken one of your photos ( this one )and posted it for some type of point system. I discovered this because he lifted one of mine too. ( it was brought to my attention by a member of another site where I post too.)He seems to upload only other people's work, maintaining though the author's name. When you go to this url click on "see more GOTINHA latest pics..." and you will find one of yours. See what you can do.

 

This bug picture, amist its technical imperfections, ( perfection sometimes is boring), is an exquisite study of the (unknown), micro world that lives in parallel with us

 

 

 

Best regards, Chris

hello Peter !I've just taken a look to your entire portfolio, all made of wonderful macrophotographs.

This one is good because very well composed and colors superb. Just a bit of oversharpening but nothing bad.

You have others even more beautiful !

I would like to suggest to those who doubt about reality of the dew, look at other Peter's macros, like this one :http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7613546, if you imagine this guy on the picture would stay on the leaf ....!

I know a little about macrophoto and it's impossible ! All that wings world is so unpredictable and brisk !

It is excellent! learning question,do you use tripod to take macro photos,If yes would you let me what is the

name and If not how you can fix such accurate?

 

Thanks

I use tripod for 20 or 30% photos (tripod Velbon sherpa pro 640 + head Velbon PHD-51Q).

Fantastic, perfect composition, unique subject, amazing accent with the water drops, and really nice bokeh. 10/10

for a macro shot. What kind of bug is this?

Very artistic macro shot. Done wiht great skill.

Congratulations J O.

This image is very pleasing. I especially appreciate the water droplets on the creature, as well as the plant. What a wonderful job capturing such an interesting subject! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy it.
