About Andrew Trevor-Jones

I have been participating in photography in one form or other since I was very young. It has been a passion that has not left me.

Most of my photographs are of natural subjects both above and below the water, with macro photography being my favourite.

I use Nikon gear and Ikelite housings.

    Brilliant Macro of this unusual little guy.

    Cheers Jude

  • Thanks, Jude. While this guy is has an unusual look, I see them very regularly on the two Angophora trees in our back yard – at least during the warmer months. Here are just a few of the other photographs I have taken of them over the years: black flat-head leafhoppers

    Great shot of this fascinating little creature Andrew !

  • Thanks, Trish. Each time I see one I have to think of a way to show it differently from last time.
