Thanks. It appears we have similar photo subject interests. Nice photos! Loved your farm life story re corn, etc. Brought back a lot of memories raised on a hardscrabble farm in southern Illinois!! Also spent 2 years in Chapel Hill at UNC and 4 years in Durham at Duke. Visited Raleigh a lot! Love the area!
Great chickadee shot, by the way. Difficult to get good blacks with the white!

The hover flies and slime mould were shot with a Nikon D2X and 200mm Nikkor Micro. Forgive me for the framing as I seem to have lost the raw files.
Note the small wings on the large bodied hover fly. This fly is not graceful at all, so when it comes in to land on flowers, etc., it's pretty scary.
While this one is all body, the 2nd one is all head!
The slime mould sporangia were shot in almost complete darkness. Used too small of an F stop. The sporangia here measure ca. 4-5mm tall.
The painted lady butterfly was shot with D500 and 200mm Nikkor Micro.

Great photo! Mockingbirds are notoriously aggressive. This past winter I had three that would fly in and take over my bird feeders. One would fly up into a nearby tree branch and when a song bird would visit the feeder the mockingbird would fly in and knock it off. After a few episodes of this, it would be days before birds would show up at the feeders.

Excellent series and also makes a great case for the capabilities of older camera gear, in this case 2005 vintage!
Thank you. Although I have upgraded thru D300 and to D500, will likely never outgrow the D2X. Why kid one's self??
