BELINDA GROVER PHOTOGRAPHY

STOPS ALONG THE WAY

A FINE BALANCE (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

21 Comments

I rarely carry more than the lens on my camera when I set out to do some photography, so I pretty much have an idea of what I’d like to photograph. On this particular day I had my 105mm and was looking for flower and insect subjects. I wasn’t disappointed by these red milkweed beetles.

  9. Good reason to have a wide range soon and not worry about carrying several lens. 😉

  10. I like the juxtaposition of the two photographs; the second is so analytical, the first is more poetical.

  11. /Seeing them up close like this we can see that they have faces. They’re not just wings and legs.
