Awesome Dragonfly

The best picture I have taken so far with the Nikon D3100 and the Tamron macro lens.

Bee's

Thrip

I believe they are called Thrip they are so small and I was unable to use a tripod, as they were only about 5 inches off the ground. Now I need to look for a small tripod for these shots. Trying to still work out the best camera settings for these shots, these were taken with a fairly large aperture setting. Not to make excuses for the focus however it was windy. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to take shots in windy conditions?

What is it?

This little sucker darts around everywhere, it is great the way the Nikon D3100 and Tamron's Marco lens is able to aquire focus so quickly.
