Saturday Garden Macro - Sid and Boris [Original Photography]
This week has been a crazy one at work. At the start of the week, I wasn't getting much sleep due to major incidents going on but come Wednesday I started to catch up. Think i managed to get 6 hours in 48 in total on Monday and Tuesday.
Anyway, today I set aside an hour or so to chase some bugs around the garden with the camera. Not too many around to be honest; as the autumn starts to appear it gets quiet. In any case, I managed to get a few of a lovely spider and a very cute little stink bug (or shield bug as some people call em)
As @axeman would say, "Enjoy the beauty" :D
Hope you enjoyed these. I especially like the stinkbug shots as a series. Think the first one might even get a print and frame.
All were shot with the aging Canon 60D (hoping to upgrade very soon) and the Sigma 105 DG Macro HSM. Post-processing in Lightroom
Thanks for looking
Mark

What beautiful shots you've got there. Boris is drunk with all the spikey legs.
Yeah, there's another Boris in the UK. I'd trust this spider to do his job better than him.

Sid is beautiful! Amazing the details you captured.. in fact I was all zoomed in, enjoying those details, and then Boris jumped out.. nearly spilt my coffee. Great shots Mark ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks as always for the kind comments. Yeah Boris is a nasty bugger. So is the spider.
Wow that shot of Boris on the rich purple magenta-ish flower is amazing!
It has a certain air of "death" (or something similar) to it. The flower is dying and the spooky spider is building its web around all the dead petals. I really like this too.
Great shots! You should check @derangedcontest for a monday macro contest. You will be the winner 😉
Been entering the contest for a few weeks now ;)
