check out who came to me while i took some shots of my flower macro…..this lil guy has amazingly long legs and stayed there to pose for me! Image that! LOL Sorry the composition is lacking appeal….and im a bit bummed that i cut off his reflection too….i have never done bugs or spider shots before so i dont relly know what else to do but a straight front mug shot! hehehe When i spotted him i quickly grabbed a blank CD and put it near it…..and when it went on top of the CD i just started shooting. That should explain the reflection you see here and the colorful backdrops :P Im facinated with the EYES!!! / Btw, do you know that they’ve got eyes on the side of their heads too? I just learned that they have 8 eyes and need them all – the different eyes have different functions as well as 360’ viewing. isn’t that awesome? You learn new things everyday :P
I was delighted to see this Comma in my South London garden recently – looks like letting the garden grow wilder is paying off! The comma is so called because of the white “comma” punctuation mark on the underside of the wing. This fellow was obliging enough to let me photograph the underside, so I have made an insert to show his namesake.

Believe it or not, these are all the the same species of Ladybird. They are the notoriously invasive Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia Axyridis, the most invasive ladybird on earth. It is also known as the Multicoloured Asian Ladybird and the Halloween Ladybird. It has a very variable appearance, which can make it difficult to tell apart from our native ladybirds. The harlequin ladybird was introduced to North America in 1988, where it is now the most widespread ladybird species on the continent. It has already invaded much of northwestern Europe, and arrived in Britain in the summer of 2004. I photographed all these variants on my runner bean plants, in South London, where fortunately for the ladybirds, but not for me, there is a large supply of black aphids.

Taken in 2008, I have given this picture some ‘60s treatment using CS3 and Silver Efex Pro which simulates the characteristics of black and white film, and makes this sort of effect a breeze. My favourite film Kodak Tri-X, had a speed of 400 ASA (400 ISO in digital terms) but I used to rate it at 200 ASA (over exposing by 1 stop) to ensure clean highlights and help make a high contrast print in the darkroom. Prints for glossy magazine reproduction were best printed a little ‘hard’ meaning contrasty, as they lost it slightly in reproduction. This style of printing gave a classic edge to ‘60s black and white photography and it can still be seen today in books of that period.. This is as close to how I would have printed from a negative of this picture, usually on Kodak grade 3 paper, grain and all! “Technical Details:” Camera: Nikon D3 / Lens: Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 / ISO: 200 / Exposure: 1/250 sec at f/16 / Flash: Bowens / Flash Mode: White Umbrella / Post Processing: Photoshop CS3 & Nik Software Silver Efex Pro © 2008 John Hooton Photography
I have given this some treatment to give it a B/W ‘60s look. To see the grain at the sizes available it is best viewed large.

My Nikon F bought in 1964 with a 105mm f/2.8 lens. I could only afford one lens and the 105mm was my choice as it was great for beauty head shots. Alongside it is the D3 that I purchased in 2008. It is also sporting a 105mm focal length lens. This time a VR macro. Who would have guessed in 1964 that one day there would be no more film. We would be shooting using a bit of plastic that held hundreds of exposures in it’s own memory on a camera that had it’s own computer built in.. Take that man to the funny farm. 105mm is still my favourite focal length for head shots after 44 years, so at least some things never change.

It all started so innocently …. water droplets from my glass on a tablecloth, and this is what i ended up with after scrambling for other things to photograph, since the gear was already setup. Image made with Nikon D300, SB800 Speedlight, Sigma 105mm f/2.8, Maglite Flashlight, pieces of seaglass and mirror. Thank you Chris Hannah for inspiring me to attempt to use my budget version of studio lighting!
Bored and needing some new “material”, I headed outside with Nikon D300, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro and SB800 flash. After blinding multiple insects, I settled down at my blooming Hydrogena. Amazing what nature will “paint” for us.
I love gerberas and waterdrops…two of my favorite subjects to photograph….And YOU are in MY heart and MY soul….Love you xoxo “Featured in Live Love and Dream” Thanks so much
