Lesser Grass Blues Mating
Have been shooting birds all these while and decided to switch over to the microscopic side of things. Macro is very challenging(or rather difficult) but can make one feel rewarding if the final output turns out nice.
This one is after many tries and with good pointers from tchuanye, Chris, Billy, Colleen and others from another forum. These fellas were making out for hours and never decoupled but move together in unity from perch to perch. They somehow make me feel like a porn director.  Lesser Grass Blues  Any comments to improve appreciated. |

Re: Lesser Grass Blues Mating
But unless they were, erm, procreating at your direction, wouldn't that make you a voyeur instead of a porn director? |
