David Handley<br />
North Wales<br />
We featured David’s colourful car<br />
close-ups in our Reader Gallery in<br />
AP 26 September 2009. This time<br />
he has sent in a selection of macro<br />
insect pictures. David started<br />
photography at the age of eight<br />
when he bought a Kodak Instamatic<br />
127 camera while on holiday. He<br />
has no particular favourite subjects<br />
and says he is happy to explore<br />
many different areas. ‘I fi nd<br />
macro photography fascinating,’<br />
says David. ‘I love trying to fi nd<br />
an image in something I would<br />
normally overlook.’ David’s aim<br />
is to keep taking pictures as<br />
long as he fi nds it enjoyable.<br />

brightly coloured insect,<br />
he grabbed his camera and<br />
inched forward as close<br />
as he could, cropping the<br />
image later to fi ne-tune<br />
his composition<br />

piqued by the contrast<br />
between the green of the<br />
insect and the purple of<br />
the tulip petals<br />
