+BCandMsKitty Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Very nice, Robert! Here are some of mine. Quote Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Most of our close-up shots tend to be of travel bugs. And we have just a crappy kodak easy-share... but we still have some that I like (although they're not nearly as high-quality as the pics shown above!) A spider I accidentally went eye-to-eye with while searching for a roadside micro in a bush: An old abandoned bird's nest built in the gate at a trail entrance: We found this rock while we were at a cache, and we remarked on how much it resembled a turtle... ...and just a moment later, we saw this real turtle sitting 10 feet away from us! We saw this frog while walking on a path toward a cache. We took a few hasty pictures of it, sure that it would hop away quickly.. but when it didn't, I decided to see if it would consent to pose alongside a frog travel bug I had in my pocket. The frog sat there patiently, and when the picture-taking was done, he hopped away. This TB wanted its picture taken with hot and cold things. What better choice than a hot-fudge sundae? :-) We saw this near a cache and were mystified by it. Later someone in "The Hunt / The Unusual" forum identified it for me. A crab TB... of course we had to pick it up and take some pictures :-) I just like how the blue bear TB is the same color as the sky in this one :-) Quote Link to comment

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Great stuff guys, I wonder somethimes WHAT it takes to get into the banners!! I'm cleaning out some of my piucture folders(109 folders) and will post some of mine that aren't GeoCache related. First I'll upload them on Photobucket. Quote Link to comment

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Bump, these are used in another game I play called ShutterSpot(at GPSgames.org) http://shutterspot.gpsgames.org/cgi-bin/sh...ITE+SHOP+ROBERT That last one is what made me realize what my camera can do.

+Freth Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) All of these pics, except for the last one, were done with a home-made macro lens made from a cheap magnifying glass I siliconed to a lens adapter. It's not perfect, but I've been able to get some pretty close shots. Hope you enjoy them. Edited March 30, 2008 by Freth Quote Link to comment
+La Fifi Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I love macro photography, what a great thread. I've only had a few attempts myself, but when visiting this cache I took this pic. It doesn't quite cut it with some of the pics here but I really enjoyed taking it - chasing that butterfly all over the place! Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 These little flowers were only about 1/3" across. Quote Link to comment
+gof1 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Now THIS is a cool thread. I have got to start taking pics like this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+SnowBird690 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Lots of posting of bugs, but I admit, I have some as well, but living in Texas, there are lots of cool snakes here to take pictures of, and beautiful wildflowers as well. A broadbanded water snake as I was walking back to the path from the Stegasaurus cache (Houston, TX). I knew they were not venomous so I allowed myself to get close. They were cute cuddled up the way they were. Quote Link to comment
+89SC Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) I stopped by a creek to change into my water shoes and spotted this guy watching me: He didn't seem to mind when I put the camera in his face. Edited April 9, 2008 by 89SC Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Bumpity. Took these on a hike this evening. I wasn't caching per se, but I was scouting areas as I went. All are clickable for more sizes. Trilliums Sumac More sumac(?) Edited May 18, 2008 by Dinoprophet Quote Link to comment
