Took the proprietor of PattayaDaze out for a trip this afternoon, in the certain knowledge that if there were macro subjects around, he would spot them. But for a while there was not much to shoot other than a few flowers.
The first sign of animal life was a large buzzy thing, stuffed up inside a tiny orchid:
This sighting was quickly followed by a rather disgusting frog. I tried kissing it in case there was a princess inside; but nothing happened:
Finally, we found an area where there were dragonflies, a staple diet for macro shooting:
Good outing, even if we found nothing spectacular. All shots with the Panasonic GX1 and the Olympus 60mm macro; hand-held and auto-focus.

2012-11-30| Wally says‘a large buzzy thing’ Your knowlede of entomology is truly awe inspiring.
2012-12-01| Chang Noi saysBeautifuuuuul …. did you clue them? I do find it spectacular.
2012-12-01| Grant saysIndeed the lightly murdered/organic superglued look is a joy to behold…
2012-12-01| The Lighweight saysBetter be careful with kissing frogs. Frogs turn into princes, not into princesses. Imagine that surprise.
2012-12-01| Spike saysThanks. I try not to show off; but sometimes that PhD just shines through.
2012-12-01| Spike saysGlue? Glue? I’ll have you know I got my knees muddy photographing those dragonflies, and I had to wash my shoes (and my feet, and my knees) when I returned home.
2012-12-01| Spike saysA bit like kissing ladyboys then. Allegedly.
2012-12-01| Grant saysIndeed it does. Pray tell, sir, what is your taxonomic specialisation?

2012-12-02| Grant saysOr dancing with mot daeng when you least expect it?
2012-12-02| Brenton saysRidiculously good! You have outdone yourself.
2012-12-05| Grant saysRight on that, usually it’s just ‘undone’…
2012-12-05| Wally saysI didn’t recognise you Grant - are you writing incognito ?
2012-12-06| Grant saysNo, I found out what Spanky has been doing and I’m still blushing…
