Playing around with some shots I passed over from the past 12 months. When I switched from my previous full frame system to OM, I had planned to focus on macro. But, with 600-800mm equivalent focal lengths at a fraction of the weight it's hard not to enjoy birds and wildlife with M4/3.

Of all the little twists evolution spits out, I find mimicry in all its various forms the most fascinating. Here's a tiny ant mimic jumping spider. What's your favourite mimic?

I spent some time with one of my favourite jumping spiders last week. The Servaea incana AKA the Giant bark jumping spider, such curious and chonky spiders.

Another highlight from yesterday's macro outing. A mother lynx spider guards her eggs. #spider #omsystem #macrophotograpy #macro

So tall! My son and I went exploring with our cameras yesterday, this lanky specimen was one of the highlights. #spiders #omsystem

I will do, for sure!!

I didn't know the these guys were also in New Zealand. Were they deliberately introduced into NZ? Or a natural vagrant?

I am very much the same with our White faced herons here. They are pretty special birds though.

Not this particular one.

Thanks, that's a dream of mine, to have an image featured by Nat Geo, or our local Australian Geographic.

Thanks!!

Oh and this is an Orchid dupe wasp I photographed in my backyard.last week.

Sure did, I should have mentioned that in my original post 🤦‍♂️

I keep hearing good things about BluSky so here I am introducing myself. Love taking photos, with a focus on nature, particularly macro and birds. I'm excited to see what I can find here. Cheers Dan
