Photo Quest #103 – Show us your wildlife
It was a little difficult for me to look for wildlife because most of flowers, parks and animals I can see here are not wild ones. Anyway, I went to Expo’70 Memorial Park with my cameras. Fortunately I met some insects in the park and all the insects in the park are, yes, wildlife.
Dragonfly: PENTAX K200D + TAMRON 272E (Manual mode, f/6.3, 1/160, ISO200)
Praying mantis: PENTAX K200D + TAMRON 272E (Av mode, f/4.0, 1/800, ISO200)
Bee: PENTAX K200D + TAMRON 272E (Tv mode, f/2.8, 1/1000, ISO400)
I just re-seized these three photos.

Mantises are so cool! One of my colleagues once babysat a coccoon of mantis eggs, which hatched – the tiny, tiny babies were adorable!
Lovely colours on your pictures!

Thanks paikea!
Dragonfly has a tendency that it comes back to the same place even if it flies away. So I patiently waited the dragonfly :) For bee, I set my camera shutter speed priority and tried to get clear image of bee.
I’m afraid I don’t meet baby praying mantis for long time…

Your photos show great composition, color and details. They are show great thought in how you take your photos. I like the flower with the bee the best.

Thanks Kai Brockbank!
It’s still very difficult for me to take photos of flying insects but the shot is my best one of that :)
