The one with the moon is very pretty. ^_^
I was surprised at how much colour the larva already has!

Wonderful set of pictures, Nerdy!

I love this one, the variaty of caterpillars has of late amazed me a great deal, unfortunately the frustration arising from trying to identify a caterpillar therefor also rises exponentially... Oh, the many hours I spend on scouring my books and the internet on a particularly elusive caterpillar...

Can't find this one in my book, so probably is not a species that features over here. Still, lovely colouring.

Some more of my insect photos!

Some older which I don't think I've linked to yet:

Dragonfly: Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea)

Dragonfly: Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum)

Butterfly: Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus)

And some new ones. Now of these fellas, I'm kinda proud. These things are fast and I had never even seen them properly until now. They sure are some pretty butterflies, inside and out, and incidentally also the biggest day-butterfly that can be found in the European skies.

Butterfly: Two-tailed Pasha (Charaxes jasius)

**Mari** · 08-05-2008, 04:17 PM

Oh, you have some very pretty pics on there, Eärn!

***Earniel*** · 08-05-2008, 06:14 PM

Thanks!

Of course if the butterflies and dragonflies wouldn't cooperate, none of my photos would be any good. My parents often laugh if they hear me complaining to the butterflies while taking pictures: "Would you sit still?!No, no, don't move! No... Argh!"

And it's.... rewarding to be able to come home, upload the photos and dive in the books to see what insect it is I photographed. Two years ago, I barely could tell two common butterflies apart, never mind dragonflies. Now I can identify more than a dozen on close sight. It makes me feel smart.

***Tessar*** · 08-05-2008, 07:10 PM

Those are GREAT photos!!!

One problem: I think there was some kind of error... instead of coherent comments on the photos, you seem to have typed in gibberish.

Tessar, you silly boy.

But yeah, run, run for your life! Before we drag you to compulsory Dutch language classes and the rest of your life you'll be speaking in our gibberish.

Thanks. But no, I have no Macro lens, my camera is but a small compact thing, I can't change the lens. Which may be best, because otherwise I bet I'd be saving for cool and fancy lenses myself.

But my camera does come with a macro-function which allows me to come really close to small objects without blurring.

Nerdanel · 08-06-2008, 05:39 AM

Very nice shots indeed, Eärniel.

Really well done. Thanks for sharing!

My Nikon D60 DSC has a range on the standard lens of 3 inches from the object to 30 feet.

From Thursday when I went down to the Gustav Adolf Square to take pics of the Church.

awaiting major editing...due to the images in my pb-account lying on the side and not being able to get them rightened. I will try to remedy it tmrw!

***Varnafindë*** · 08-09-2008, 10:45 AM

Good pictures of the church!
And I love Kalle - he's so cute ...

Grey_Wolf · 08-09-2008, 01:40 PM

Thanks, Varna!

He is indeed!

Nerdanel · 08-12-2008, 07:27 AM

Yeah, I quite like the church picture taken from a low angle. Looks really good.

I'll jump in with some insects and arachnids.. The first two ones are taken with my friend's macro lens (on my camera), the others with my, still, only lens (the kit lens).

A Camponotus-worker (carpenter ant)

A butterfly, taken in monochrome since my friend didn't remember to put it back to normal after using my camera, and because I'm silly enough not to shoot in RAW.. X)

A bumblebee hiding under a flower just before it started raining..

Same individual.

And, finally, the promised arachnid. 8)

Grey_Wolf · 08-12-2008, 12:48 PM

Thanks, Nerd!

quite like ur bug shots as well.

Grey_Wolf · 08-16-2008, 01:46 AM

"Fields of Gold", eh?

Very nice shots, Nerd!

Nerdanel · 08-16-2008, 04:53 AM

Indeed!

Thank you, GW.

Grey_Wolf · 08-16-2008, 06:34 AM

Yw, Nerd, my friend.

Here is another set of pics I shot this forenoon of three major buildings in Helsingborg. Hope the link works for everybody.
