stuny Posted March 26, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Three of these are from the central highlands of PNG, and two from the Sepik region. All with the FX01. More on the Papua New Guinea pages of our site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

azzo Posted March 26, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 26, 2007 Very nicely captured, all of them Stuart. Fantastic light, colours and framing. How did you manage to see the insect in your 1st image ? Lovely. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted March 26, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 26, 2007 Excellent Stuart. The ant on the leaf is easily my favorite of the group. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted March 26, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 26, 2007 Stu, #2 is my favourite shot- I am not wild about spiders though. You will be pleased to know that Spring is sprung here- today I sat in shorts in the garden sun and saw: a queen wasp, a butterfly and a bumble bee. I'll not put away my padded Barbour just yet though! Any idea how many shots you took in PNG? You certainly have some great stuff from that trip.

stuny Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted March 26, 2007 Ivan - Thank you. I THINK it was the DMR/R8 with 28-70, and the light was from a spotlight used to light the way to guest rooms. But it might have been the FX-01. DD - Thank you. The ant just edges out #1 for me. Pete - Thank you. I was heartbroken to find that my other weevil photo (below) was not as sharp or well exposed as I had hoped -- One doesn't see weevils mating every day. Regarding the number of exposures, I think it was about 1,200. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted March 27, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 27, 2007 That is a shame! Apart from the action, there are some really nice colours in the leaf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted March 28, 2007 Share #7 Posted March 28, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart, I'm sorry. I explained myself badly. What I meant was that you had to be sharp to notice the insect on your 1st image, being the same colour as the leaf. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfred Posted March 28, 2007 Share #8 Posted March 28, 2007 Excellent collection of bugs Stuart , one of my favorite the spider looks like it has an Australian cousin Araneidae , nephila the Golden Orb. Our best and most handsome web spider some webs can have a distinct golden shine. The little green beetle is just superb with its rich colouring. Thanks for sharing.

fotografr Posted March 29, 2007 Share #10 Posted March 29, 2007 Fascinating shots--artistic and informative. I had to look twice to see the insect in the first one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted March 29, 2007 Brent - Thank you. I think the only reason I saw it was that many hours earlier (in the moring) we had seen the weevils there and I wondered if they were still "at it". As is so often the case, that was lucky for me.
