Found my first Bdellidae of the year - but unsure of the sp. and also a green thing which may or not have emerged from the black hole in space - as well as tiny oribatid mite (not my best shot though) and a very small vapourer moth caterpillar.

Hi, Paul,

since your early beginnings into macro from Astro ( I think ?) , you have become some thing of a real expert in our usually hidden, small world, which is becoming increasingly important to the saving of our planet. 
Even during my semi-serious venture into macro photography I noticed a real drop in the numbers of bumble bees, butterfly’s and moths from our tiny gardens; it was only serious retinal surgery that forced me to sell all of my treasured SONY gear, to turn increasingly toward Street Photography and Mono Photography.

Your observations and carefully considered compositions are a joy to see ant to study .

I an]m hoping that at least a few of your works have found their way into specialist publications, or, at least, into Photo-Books  you have self published…..if not…they should be.

For my almost annual venture into self publishing, I use….BOOKPRINTINGUK…..they have a brilliant team of experts who will , lead you through the creation, and production of beautiful books , no matter your existing  publishing expertise. Their prices are very reasonable, and turn-around times remarkably speedy, just a matter of a few weeks.

Bookprintinguk …differ from other companies, in that it is YOU who is responsible for all of your design and editing, all,they do is to beautifully print what you send them.

Customers Always  receive a free Sample Proof copy…once this is corrected or approved, the company can print from five volumes upwards, in soft or, hardback …Their photography reproduction on good paper is first class.

I have nothing to do with the company, except to use them often.

My current macro camera is my new iPhone 13 pro, it has incredible capabilities for what it is… see here…

Best regards

Thanks Cyril - I'm pleased you enjoy my photos - it's a tough genre but the results can be very rewarding.

Mobile phones are getting better and better - my phone doesn't have a macro lens/facility, so it's the DSLR that does all the work.

Paul.

Cool set and a photo book would be definitely something to consider especially for future generations
