Some very neat bug has been laying eggs on one of my tomato plants.

Harder to photograph than I thought - focus was tricky.

I chose a small aperture, with greater DoF to give a bit of focus leeway, the trade off being a slow shutter speed on my disgracefully el crappo tripod (which I reckon, oscillates with the rotation of the moon or something . )

Nevertheless, the eggs are fascinating! And I am enjoying my new lens.

Interesting shot, Greg. The eggs look like chromed plastic balls.

Too bad about your el crappo tripod. Next you'll be spend a couple thousand on a fancy carbon fibre pod and ball head.

I have the tripod and want the 105 nikkor...
You have the 105 Nikkor and want the tripod..



Your shots are amazing Greg!

The bug that laid the silver eggs... Nice shot Greg... I must have a look at that lens...

Greg,
Nice shot from you.
wait until you find the gold eggs and buying a new CF tripod

Greg - new lens - great pic - dirty knees - new love.

incredible shot
did you get any of the bug?

Thanks everyone.

Yes Birdy, I see a tripod on the horizon, but that will need to wait a while.

Kerry, you ought to see the tripod collection Birddog has - more tricky heads and carbon fibre legs etc than you can poke a stick at. I am now seeing why a quality tripod setup is worthwhile.

thaddeus, no sign of the bug, it laid and left.

MHD, your lust is well placed, it is a nice lens

leek - worth checking it out.

Chris, how do you spot the head photographer? Dirty knees.

At the macro meet yesterday, both Jenno and fozzie agreed and enjoying, macro shoot required a good tripod and head setup and same as Matt.K trying on my Nikkor 200/f.4 micro lens.

Now that is weird.

They look alien.
