Great idea. I had a similar thought of small subjects at low tide. I may have to adopt some of your techniques.

Thanks Dennis, insects are such a vast subject, so much to learn.Trudy, I really like your photos. I thought the first one was a type of stonefly but then thought better of it. Well done.

Some good ideas there relbugman. I was shooting them in a Chinese china soup spoon because it is small, deepish and white at the bottom. I was in the garden so had to protect it from the wind to stop water motion but your idea of a more natural environment sounds better and gives the opportunity for sideway views.Nice shots. The dragonflies (#4,5) are very young, yet. They are definitely hunters of the lie-in-wait variety. They often do just fine in small aquariums, even gallon jugs, unfortunately harder to get in these days of plastics. Better in a straight-sided container for photos. A few twigs and a little algae and they'll perform just right. Feed them the tiny 'worms' and they'll eat for you, better than the Hapsburg's lips.

Thanks A-PeeR, I will read about the Raynox diopter. Everything I find lately is really small and I don't like to crop more than a little for composition.In addition to tubes or stacking lens, you may want to consider a Raynox diopter for increase magnification.

I look forward to seeing your results. I might try the sea here but I am not sure it will hold so much as fresh water. Creatures at low tide have more to deal with i.e. water - no water - water again - and also pummeling by the waves. However, the rocks will hold loads of interesting molluscs and the pools will have small crustaceans and seaweeds which might make nice subjects for a change. Good luck and don't forget your wellies.Great idea. I had a similar thought of small subjects at low tide. I may have to adopt some of your techniques.
