    Nice. Isn't it fun to take picture sof things you can barely see with you naked eye?

    These are actually damselflies, the smaller, wispier version of dragonflies.

    Hey, Eric - these look good. You use your new lens setup for these? The magnification is quite high :thumbsup:

    Careful - you start shooting too many like these and you'll stop taking pictures of people
    Please do not edit or repost my images.

    See my website HERE.


    What's a Loupe for anyway?

    Thanks for the ID Mr. Lamp. Yes, photography opens a different world expecially in wildlife and nature. Who needs to make up science fiction when the strangest stuff is in your backyard

    Killer Loupe (derived from popular sunglasses Killer Loop), yes it's using my new lens setup. It's a struggle trying to hand hold this 70-200 f/2.8 with the 2x. I probably need practice or I should've gotten the IS version instead. Monopods and tripods are a hassle so far. No, don't think I'll forget people photography....becoming a good people photog is a personal holy grail

    Paul.....LOL ....Loupey is good at people photography as well. I've seen it on his website...
