Finally! Working up the insect images from my recent Aussie trip took longer than I thought- probably because I pay more attention to post-processing now that I’ve become a Lightroom convert.
In December I brought home some 3,000 images from Australia. 200 of these I judged good enough to add to my galleries. And, 12 of my favorites I selected this afternoon to share at Compound Eye:

Happy St. Paddy’s day, everyone!

Great! I particularly like the Eurhopalothrix photos.
Cool pix!
Great collection! Thanks a lot!
Awesome photos Alex, really!
And quite a feat to finish a batch like that. I typically end up taking a huge bunch of photos, sorting through half of them, editing a tenth of those that I keep and then forgetting about the whole lot. I wish I had the discipline to stay put at one photographic project long enough to finish it
So good it makes me die little bit on the inside that I have a Nikon..
Wow great insect pics – bet you had a lot of fun taking those – Love the spider with the eyes – was it poisinous ?

These are fascinating photographs Alex. You must have an enviable collection.
