Bugs in the hedge

How else to throw away some time than just sitting still close to the hedge in the backyard waiting for some bugs to crawl by … strange what you can see when you go very close. These guys were either fighting, playing, or mating, not sure.

Not even sure what they are called, any input on that is welcome :)

So when I was in the US I got some extension tubes for my Canon camera and this gives the opportunity to take extreme closeups with any standard lens. This is a “cheat” to turn any lens into a macro lens. Very well, I have tested with both my 18-250mm and the 50mm 1.4 and they both work great for macro shots. The 50mm is much more light sensitive and that means you need to go very close for the nice shots and that does not always work well with for instance insects and similar.

My kids were part of a show in Sandvika arranged by KGB Danseskole. This is a dance school teaching all dance styles and they put most of them together in a show where the theme was animals in a zoo and all the “animals” danced all sorts of dances with many styles of music. All the kids seemed to have a lot of fun and the show was really great!
