If it's covered in that much dew then it's cold and it isn't going to move.
You can break out the tripod, slip on the focusing rail and do lighting test
shots. Color me unimpressed, that is an easy shot... Consider the gauntlet
soaked in petrol, lit, and returned.

Some awesome macro images around, and that collection is
certainly up there. I never get tired of seeing that sort of
detail and wonder in nature. Thanks for the link.

Since you seem to be in a mood for checking out galleries, here
are my favourite macro gurus:

If you must only check out one or 2 of the above, I'd suggest
Brian "LordV" Valentine's gallery, then probably Igor
"Blepharopsis" Siwanowicz and Alistair "Alliec".

Jeez, some people are hard to impress

I know what you mean about insects being less active when cold.
That's one of the tricks you learn trying to shoot them.

But give 20 different people of varying experience the same
equipment, conditions, and scene to shoot, you'll end up with 20
different shots. Some good, some bad, some you will like, some
you will not.

Only when you outshine that Jim... you've done some nice ones, but
nothing close to that... (me neither).

Did I ever mention how much I despise Flickr?

Yes, some great shots in those galleries.

Not that I recall but I can see why, though I like the usability on my
end which lets me annotate things thoroughly so they can be searched.
It's really easy to edit, just looks dumb and makes the viewer click
till their finger is sore to get large images. And the gratuitous
comments with sparking avatars g.

Boasting doesn't count. To return the gauntlet you have to take at
least as good a photograph. Of course that's something you can easily
do. :-)
