Nestled in an unassuming Glasgow Park lies a treasure trove of vibrant colours, intricate details, and tiny creatures waiting to be discovered.
It was during the confinement of the Covid lockdown that David Hamilton found himself captivated by this hidden world.
Now he runs a popular Instagram page “WeeMadBeasties” showcasing macro photography - extreme close-up photos - of all the creepy-crawlies found within Ruchill Park and across Scotland.
Before the restrictions the 43-year-old from Glasgow’s west end had been a landscape photographer, but the limitations of lockdown led him down a different path.
Macro photography typically involves close-up photographs of small subjects, such as bugs and flowers.
And the nation’s few insect photographers only have a short window to consistently capture good pictures.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
