Macro Insect Photography: some Old Favorites made with the Nikon D70s: in the beginning of my transition.....

Insects can be annoying at times (gypsy moth for example), but over all they make great photo subjects. Here are some subjects that came mostly from my flower gardens. These images were made during my entry into digital photography: made with a Nikon D70s camera and a Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro lens (1:1).

Beautiful, what small creatures captured with such brilliant colors. A calm mind and eye sure is able to deliver, and willing to share!
