    This is probably the best photo of a small thing I have ever managed with a phone camera. (iPhone 4s for those geeks who care) it's only a couple of mm across. The fabric is from a windbreaker.

    I was having a pee beside this hebe a couple of days back and saw all the insects working it over - bees, bumble bees, wasps etc, - did a risk assessment and put it away - went and got the camera -
    The buggars just won’t sit still - I might try it again when I have more time
    Fascinating subjects - love your professional results GravelBen - could look at your pics all day

    Here are a few I took with friends camera, I'll add a few more once I get something set up with mine.

    I've just been looking at these. Amazing quality. What camera / lenses?

    I've been thinking about using my assortment of close-up gear recently for a project that I'm toying with. These pics may just have given me a bit of extra impetus. I've got bellows, extension tubes, reversing rings, and if Im feeling a little lazy, close-up lenses that fit the filter thread. I've also got a ring flash which I haven't used much. All depends if I find the time.....
