My aim is to use macro and close up photography to showcase the beauty and complexity of the miniature worlds and the creatures who live much much closer to the ground than us!

So here is a focus stack I recently finished. Made from 10 or so images stacked in Photoshop and edited in Lightroom as usual. Really pleased with the result.

Swipe right for a close cropped view of its head where you can see the detail in the compound eyes and the rest of its terrifying face!

Beautifully stunning and vibrant Damselfly here. I have been really loving how many there are in this nature reserve, they are spectacular and I think the sheer volume of insect life there is a credit to management of the reserve.

Found a couple of interesting looking flies uhh, coupling, in what strikes me as a very precarious location. At their scale the thorns around them appear enormous.

Another little Shield Bug, climbing up this plant stalk and giving us a great view of its spotted and pitted carapace. I love photographing these little guys because they have such interesting bodies!

Found this fascinating little specimen on a recent walk in a local nature reserve. I believe it to be a male Yellow Dung Fly, Scathophaga stercoraria. These are predatory flies, hunting down smaller insects. They do also feed on nectar which is what I found it doing.

Another one of these electric blue Damselflies. They are so common in the nature reserve I visit its rare that I come home without some pictures of them now!
