Macro

A few macro shots from Bentley Wood

Here are a few macro shots that I took in late July of this year at Bentley Wood. All were taken on Fuji Sensia 200 slide film at F5.6 (Click on an image to get a larger view)

First up is a female large skipper that I found resting on some fern.

It stayed around long enough to switch my lens to the Zuiko Olympus OM 80mm F4 macro lens and pose for a underwing shot

A while later I came across this Gatekeeper & Silver-washed fritillary, taken using the Zuiko Olympus OM 135mm F4.5 macro lens.

and finally I came across this male common darter. Not sure why but I kind of like the angle of it. Also with the Zuiko Olympus OM 135mm F4.5 macro lens.

I have been shooting nature with Olympus digital & Olympus OM camera gear on film since 2004
