Insect Photography

My son is always trying to catch grasshopper in summer and he invited me to join him. My son is the proud grasshopper catcher in this photograph, you wouldn’t beleieve how difficult it is to take a photograph of a grasshopper, spent most of the day cusing everytime my camera managed to zoom in the […]

This Image was captured at a pond during July at Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve.

My hubby smeared some fermenting fruit onto a post so I could get this picture, well it wasn’t exactly this piece of insect photography I was after, but I’m thrilled with the result :) We had walked down a wooded path which had loads of Red Admiral Butterflies feeding off the fruit on the ground, […]

This is one of my best Butterfly Pictures, The brown skipper butterfly is not the one of the most attractive butterflies, compared to some other summer butterflies, but this their so cute close up.

Good simple photograph of a lady bird I like the grain of the weathered wood against the striking red of the lady bird. Lady Birds can be a tricky subject to get a image of there constantly moving position or flying off somewhere :) I made it so the wood went diagonally across the picture […]

Image of a Margined Vine Chafer There were lots of these beetles flying around the sand dunes, cheeky starling were catching them in mid flight it was awesome to watch, we stood in the middle of all the action. All kinds of birds had gone down to the beach to catch these green emerald beetles […]

I’m proud of this picture, it’s artist, unusual and interesting. I got this shot with the help of my great hubby who was my hand model as well as his artist input, I was happy enough to take this hoverfly picture on the flower, so without him this photo would never have happened. It’s not […]
