Some of the lady bugs are still on the Gerber Daisies , fortunately for me

Found my first hover flies of the year flying around the Sweet Alyssum .

Then the brown anole made its presence know in the garden. These are not native and have migrated from Cuba and the Bahamas. They can grow 8-10 inches long.

Your nits, crits and comments are most appreciated.

Thank you for looking.

I hope you enjoy,

Birdie

Great shots, were these taken early in the morning or on a cloudy day ? Everytime I try Macro shots the lighting just seems too harsh. But I got a macro ring light for Christmas, so I'm dying to try it as soon as I can

A super set Birdie. The flash use is extra nice. How are you modifying the flash to soften it?

Sharp as a tack. You've found the sweet spot on your macro lens. A really nice set Birdie. I like #1 best.

Thanks so much. These were taken around 10 to 11 am , and it was an overcast day. I used flash , diffused, with the flash evaluation at around -2. Have fun with the macro ring.

Much appreciate it Ron. To modify the light I use the plastic dome diffuser that came with the flash. In addition to that, I also use an Opteka Softbox Diffuser. They come in different sizes. I was using the small one on these shots. If I find the flash still a bit bright I dial in negative flash evaluation.


Opteka
