Further work with the Olympus M60mm macro

[David Morison]

While assisting with a wild flower survey on part of the MOD Estate I took the opportunity to take a few shots with the E-M5 and 60mm f2.8 macro. As it was very windy I used manual mode with Auto ISO to enable me to have a fast shutter speed and small aperture for DOF.

Here are a few from the couple of hundred I took.

Scarlet Pimpernel:



Small Field Grasshopper:



Very small Froghopper (3mm) on the Canon Lens barrel:



Dusky Sallow moth resting on Common Knapweed:



Soldier Beetle and Small Skipper on Ragwort:



Hoverflies:





Buff-tailed Bumble:

Wow - lovely series and difficult to pick a favourite but think the first of the hoverflies and the buff bumble just edge it. Super sharp, fabulous.

Its the froghopper for me. Never seen one so detailed.
