p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Macro Meet in Brisbane, Australia? + Droning On ...


Anyone interested in a regular or irregular macro meet in SE Bris or surrounds?

Everybody is welcome to participate, beginner to expert, old or young - no discrimination. Anybody, basically, with a respect for nature and interested in meeting up for macro in the garden, a cup of tea/?, chat and/or walk in the local bush.

The idea is to meet at different places, peoples gardens or favourite shooting spots, at different times. It can be my garden one week, and maybe my local shooting places if nothing shows up in the garden. The next week/month it can be another's garden or shooting places. It's one way for people with a common interest to meet on occasion. How and when it works is up to the people who take part.

I'm in Victoria Point, 4165 - The Redlands in SE Brisbane - and if anybody wants to meet up let me know. All the pictures I post here are in my garden or local spots.

Any interest? PM me or comment here is good.

The Drone Fly, of Droning On ...

The butterfly bush is new in the garden and attractive to so many creatures. It was just luck I was sitting next to it when the fly came along and proceeded at a pace I could keep up to for a few keepers.

I'd love to meet up Mark, but it's too long a drive from the east Coast of the USA, and there might be some other problems driving ~ Ron

BTW - great shots again.

They invented planes just for lazy people like you Ron. Or you could just swim the gap of water ... :-)

Thanks Ron.

Thanks Birdie. I was pleased with them, and that she showed up for the shoot with a relaxed pace.

what lovely details and close up, Mark. Macros is one of the skills that I have dreamed of that I am not good at and will certainly keep your invite in mind when travelling to Australia.

Mark,

A great set.

I have several of the bushes in my garden and they are a major source of macro shots in summer.

I hope you get some interaction with local macro enthusiasts.

Thanks for comments all, appreciated.

Harold - I have been on a few local fora about this and there is a lot of interest from far and wide. I'm also doing an article for a local activist news site in my area, and some other stuff. Something should come of it, we'll see.

Hi Mark

Love these drone fly pics mate. It is something I haven't managed to get in front of my camera yet.

Thanks for the afternoon yesterday as well! Good to go shooting with someone knowledgeable and skilled.

cheers

Thank you, Mark for the link. You have some amazing insect shots in your gallery. And your set up is very simple. With that being said, this just shows me that your skills and experiences are behind all these wonderful shots. The guides and tips accompanying your images are worth a second or third reading. Thanks for posting this invaluable information for us newbies.

Bob

Thanks Bob. I thought it was a good way of answering the questions people put, in one place. Could do with editing, I know.
