Caterpilars, Spiders and pictures that shouldn’t even exist
My macro lens shouldn’t actually work on the FTZ either—at least, that was the previous owner’s reason for selling it. Well, I think I can live with it if it works like that. 😉 I haven’t really had time to take the camera for a long walk since Friday. I took it with me twice for events, but it stayed in my bag because other things took over the day. (One time, I didn’t even have a memory card with me, due to the fact that the Z6 II accepts one SD and one CF card. With the old one, I had two SD cards, and I never had to worry about leaving one of them in the computer… so now it’s CF again, for whatever reason.)
The pictures here were taken on my balcony table and in Jürgen’s garden. The caterpillar stayed still long enough for the stacking to work. I focused on the head and then simply “moved” over the subject with the shutter held down. If I understood correctly, the camera even has a function for shifting the focus. Oh, there is so much to discover, and I’m already looking forward to my next free afternoon and a longer trip into nature… but it will probably be a few more days.

The frogs and toads are on the loose again at the Weilbacher Kiesgruben and although a lot of visitors get lost there when the weather is nice, these amphibians are anything but quiet. Shy, yes, but not quietly! If you sit quietly in the reeds for 10 minutes and wait, they start their concert again and if you move in tai-chi-mode, i.e. very slowly, they trust their camouflage and only hop away at the last second. So I was able to get very close to this table frog with my macro. I see you!
wasp
The icy grip of winter is still felt and with temperatures below 5 degrees in the evening, clouds and lots of rain, the whole of spring is slightly delayed. This wasp looked anything but fit when I found it. I placed her in the sparse rays of the sun and soon she was gone. Before that, she posed nicely for me.
