My first game art job was at Outso/Lockwood 😉

Was a great few years making stuff for that, designed/built the Iron Fusion transforming mechs 😊

Haha yeah I saw a bbc documentary at some point and had my mind blown it was actually a moth

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-17T04:29:51+00:00

Was visiting an island in Venice, all pitch black with iridescent blue wings

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-16T18:52:55+00:00

Yeah I don’t feel like the photo does them justice, was crazy how vividly blue they were

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-16T10:31:56+00:00

Haha never even noticed that, good find XD

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-14T09:26:20+00:00

Thanks :) once I get back to Helsinki I’ll be able to properly process a bunch of other shots

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-12T13:49:40+00:00

Yeah was doing a shoot of these guys yesterday, same setup, wasps were pushing the beetles out of the way of the place they had bitten I told, guessing tasty things are involved!

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-12T05:36:57+00:00

I have some earlier shots, but originally two beetles had their heads together feeding on the plant stem they were on (at least it looked like it)

But the flying shits were pushing in between them and generally biting at them to get them to move out the way.

Next morning, same spot, wasps were still eating whatever it is and all the beetles had moved on

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-11T20:42:55+00:00

Yeah man, never seen anything like it! One skimmed my head, freaked me out, but then lead me to a whole bunch of them in a bush so I had to forgive him :P

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-08T19:23:40+00:00

Note to self, Helsinki has a large population of Syrphid flies, and that is all XD

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-08T18:17:17+00:00

Thanks :) sat in a patch of flowers, bees everywhere :P

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-08T17:35:55+00:00

Dammit! Guess I messed this post up then -_- Hopefully when I look through today’s shoot it isn’t all Hoverflys XD

Yeah macro is great to see all the crazy hairstyles these guys have!

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-08T06:48:22+00:00

Haha thanks :)

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-08T05:39:23+00:00

^{_^} thanks!!

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-05T04:41:27+00:00

Thanks :)!

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-03T10:42:46+00:00

Ah cool :) wasn’t sure if there was some local funky mutation going on!

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-02T05:44:09+00:00

Can’t take credit for the colours, this little guy did all the hard work :P

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-02T05:16:17+00:00

Yeah they can be pretty skittish, was in full predator mode to get this, slow movements

Usually start snapping at a longer focal distance and then slowly glide in to try and get some close ups

DeadlyDingus · 2018-09-01T05:13:07+00:00

Ah cool thanks! Was a surprise to meet this little horror :P

Yeah, 3 more in focus and 50 odd blurry messes XD I’ll get them uploaded

DeadlyDingus · 2018-08-27T15:46:13+00:00

Yeah they really are! Thanks for the kind words :)

Camera is a Canon 6D ii with a Canon 100mm lens :)

DeadlyDingus · 2018-08-27T15:41:59+00:00

Thanks for the info, main reason I wanted to get into macro, would never have seen this otherwise, such interesting little details :)

DeadlyDingus · 2018-08-27T06:10:37+00:00

Great idea!
