This was an idea/project I thought of some time ago and now I've eventually gotten around to giving it a go. The beauty and intricacy of the bugs just amazes me.<br />Don't worry I'll still be taking photos of them (and everything else!!) in their natural habitat...[;o)<br /><br /><br />Thanks Keith. Hmmm!...don't know if I could find the time to do a book??<br />I agree things look good in their proper setting...this was just something I wanted to have a go at.<br /><br />I'm sure those Lily Beetles much prefer being in your garden?...[;o)The Heraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393815486440597141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319263072086243509.post-16563707920678259852015-05-22T07:02:11.811+01:002015-05-22T07:02:11.811+01:00Top rate shots Trev, and great detail.

I'm with Doug though; my preference would be in a natural setting, but that's only 'cause I'm far too lazy to put the effort you and Adrian do into getting shots like these.<br /><br />Got an idea.<br />Why not do a post on the Lily Beetle?<br />See how many you can get in one shot.<br />I think I've got some on my Lilies in the garden, feel free to take them and photograph them, and no need to return them after. :-)<br />holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319263072086243509.post-50471170016741131012015-05-21T08:33:22.870+01:002015-05-21T08:33:22.870+01:00Trevor I think you are negecting the birds for th...Trevor I think you are negecting the birds for the bugs now!! These shots are all great and certainly we can see the detail and I like the way you have framed them however like Douglas I prefer to see them in their habitat. For me becuase they are on a whote background, it is too stark. Have you tried a different colour of background to see hwat they look like? I know you have gone into a rouble to great deal of trouble with these bugs to ge the best shots so this comment is ONLY my opinion.Margaret Birding For Pleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400663056547331997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319263072086243509.post-18091449794014533102015-05-21T07:55:08.621+01:002015-05-21T07:55:08.621+01:00Douglas, it's something I've been wanting ...Douglas, it's something I've been wanting to have a go at since I saw a TV program a year or so ago where a guy was photographing small animals in a rainforest somewhere. (Of course his photos were much better than mine the detail he got was amazing!)<br /><br />This is just something that I wanted to try but I'll still be taking the 'habitat' shots.<br /><br />Yeh, those Weevils are interesting little creatures, I still can't find out why they have that tooth/claw on their legs though...[;o) The Heraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393815486440597141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319263072086243509.post-24921370566742468732015-05-21T05:31:31.556+01:002015-05-21T05:31:31.556+01:00I can see why you've gone for a white backdrop...I can see why you've gone for a white backdrop. It does give better detail and less distraction. However I must confess I prefer seeing a habitat it's a strictly personal thing.I do like the last two images, the critter has fascinated me since seeing it on Adrian's blog.
