Claudius > I tried and tried to get a good bee shot with my D50, but did not succeed. This came from my D300, and Tamron 90mm 2.8. Shot with a tripod, raw. I used a remote release. The only processing was cropping.

Claudius > This was no contest really; the spider was sedated and barely hanging on. The wasp was dragging the spider away and presumably later laid some eggs in it. They were both big; the spider at least 5cm across

Claudius > Australian native Blue Banded Bee (Amegilla cingulata) hovering near a basil flower in my Sydney garden.

Claudius > This nest of paper wasps is over the front door of the (unoccupied) house next door. Picture taken with Tamron 90 f2.8, using fill flash from my SB 800.

Claudius > A flying insect common in our garden. Exaireta spinigera, also known as the soldier fly.

Claudius > A caterpillar I found on the grape vine in our yard.

Claudius > A butterfly found in an Annandale park.
