    Hi all, It's been a while since I uploaded any photos. I've still been active on my blog, and have been posting photo and stories. I just haven't put any up here because they have all been about insects and I have posted quite a number of pictures over the past few months. I don't want to wear...

    OK, I am exploiting some literary license-bees don't have a bum after all-but I just couldn't resist! The item in question is actually the abdomen of a bumble bee; and the photo below is one of a baker's dozen of pics of western thatching ants I posted on my blog last night. Cheers, EC...

    Hi all, The photo below is of a freshwater planarian flatworm (Polycelis coronate) as it crawls along the surface of a submerged leaf. I posted this photo and a number of others on my blog tonight. I have had a life-long fascination with planaria (I blame my sister, as I explain in my blog)...

    Hi all, The photo below is a portrait of a blue bottle fly that is one of the pictures that went up on my blog yesterday. These are a common type of blow fly that has the delightful scientific name of Calliphora vomitoria. Considering that these flies feed on carrion, their scientific name...

    Hi all, My latest blog is about photographing ants...which are everything that a macro photographer looks for: they are small (pretty much a prerequisite for macro), attractive (some of them at least) and best of all, they do interesting things. The photo below is a western thatching ant...

    Hi all, I have discovered that I really like photographing spiders... they are pretty darn interesting critters-both in behaviour and appearance. Plus of course many species are ambush predators that sit in one place and wait for prey to come along (sit-and-wait predators). The nice thing about...

    Hi all, I posted this photo of a harvestman on my blog the other night-an arachnid that isn't a spider for a change! Mind you, I did get some more really nice pics of spiders recently...they will go up soon. Cheers, EC macrocritters harvestman F22 copyright Ernie Cooper 2012_filtered sm for...

    Not for the squeamish: the photo below is of a feeding mosquito: one of a series of pictures I posted on my blog last night of this mosquito slowly filled its gut with my blood! Cheers, EC macrocritters mosquito 7 copyright Ernie Cooper 2012 sm for post by ernie.cooper, on Flickr

    Hi all, I finally had the chance to get back out in the field to look for bugs with my camera. I posted a number of photos on my blog last night-this was my favourite. It's always nice to see something enjoying a nice feast... Cheers, EC macrocritters spider 1 copyright Ernie Cooper 2012 sm...

    Hi all, Yesterday I finally had the chance to head off with a net to a nearby slough to collect some more pond critters to photograph. I was specifically looking for either backswimmers or water boatmen-and of course I didn't find any of either... ...but I did take collect a water strider to...

    Hi all, OK, I think I have sorted out the problems I was having with stacking images. The photo below is of an immature drumming katydid (Meconema thalassinum) that I posted on my blog last night. It was compiled from a stack of 41 images. Its head was no more that 2 or 3 mm across. What do you...

    Hi all, I know this isn't an aquatic animal (but it is a crustacean), but... I posted this photo on my blog last night--a highly magnified picture of a common sow bug or woodlouse (order Isopoda).-along with a brief explanation of how I did it. More discussion will follow in the next couple...

    Hi all, I posted this photo on my blog last night, along with an explanation of how I used Photoshop to salvage the picture. Later today I will be posting some much nicer pictures of this same critter... Cheers, EC macrocritters

    I'm assuming it is a metallic blue s.d. betta... if someone knows better, please let me know! This is our one fish... that's an anubias in the foreground (our one plant) in a 3.3G plastic tank. He's moving to a Fluval Ebi as soon as the newly siliconed foam backdrop cures :) Shooting solution...

    A few people have asked about the fish photos that I shoot so I thought that I'd post a little tutorial and some diagrams that might be of interest. This is the process & set-up that I use to capture close-up fish portraits like these... One of the really great things about shooting with...
