pond lilies - 9 macro etudes

[qwerrie]

One more nice community have appeared today on Hive.
It is a ... TADAAAM! Macrophotography community - isnt it too many? 😉
So, I decided to drop a post there rather sooner, than later, having in mind it could work sort of like an ad / invitation / you name it. @a0i, @bambuka, @borjan, @cathgothard, @sharker, @taimen, -- alert you in case you may be intrested, as I know you are the fans.

Lillies in a local pond.

Ok, here I focused not on a lilly, but on the stillness of the water tension.

Now those nameless critters did left their trace in history! 😜

Yes, my post suffers from poor biodiversity... Of course, I would like a dragonfly larva to cling to the edge of this leaf, or the dragonfly itself... but I photographed in the evening, when the dragonfly's work day was already over and she flew off to sleep. Everyone must have gone to bed, and even the water striders - the only ones I saw in the water - must have been sleeping too... But one can't have everything at once, right?

This one is macro focus stake (assembled from 2 captures).

Awesome, @qwerrie! You even got those tiny little aphids, they are the bane of my existence!

Nice to see you and your macro!

[qwerrie]

they are the bane of my existence!

well, from my point of view, they are the decoration and main attraction of the post 🤩 and evidence that it has more than just beautiful flowers, but ... I speak as a cameraman, and you seem to speak as a gardener? ..

there are a lot of aphid ant plantations in my garden too, especially on blackcurrant bushes :(

a consolation !PIZZA for you, ehehe

[dswigle]

I agree! As a photo op- outstanding! But the little buggers eat my plants in my garden! Bane of my existence! Lol

Great shots!

Awesome photos! Thanks for the tag, I'll make a post as soon as my timetable allows it. Good luck with the new community!

Welcome to MacroPhotography !
The " nameless" aphids are everywhere in your pond, most of the time ladybugs are near by and will hunt them. Focus staking is somethging i've tried in the past , and actually should be doing more with my current lens , maybe i'll pick it up again along the way.
Anyway thanks for posting here , have a great day.

О, прекрасная идея, насчёт макро-сообщества. Хорошие фото!
Спасибо за приглашение, вот только я всё-таки макро так почти и не снимаю 😂 А вот посмотреть - всегда с удовольствием!

[qwerrie]

Ну, я на всякий случай написал. В копилку знаний. ВОт если вдруг случится макро, и захочется диверсифицировать (кмк это правильно, чередовать а не все время в 2-3 одни и те же соо постить, как я делаю, хехе) - то можно туда. Как-то так. И конечно !PIZZA
ps.
насчет смотреть -- эээ... я предпочитаю проверенных авторов в ленте 🤣 уже заметил, что админ грешит реблогами "всего до чего может дотянуться". ну, такое себе удовольствие, я скорее всего сам отпишусь от этого

[sharker]

Да, чередовать сообщества - это правильно. Я, правда, так тоже почти не делаю, но знаю, что это хорошо)
А вот посмотреть иногда, когда есть время, заглядываю, поискать что-нибудь новенькое симпатичное.

[papilloncharity]

Hey there, we seem to have lost touch again!
Some great macro shots here methinks.

Have a !PIZZA and some !LUV for the weekend.
