Hey all! I have not posted here for a loong time, since i was busy with my firstborn. Here's one hoverfly to say sorry and a promise, to post more often. Minolta 7D, 70-210 F4, Raynox DCR-250, 3600hsd F32, 1/125, iso200 Sphaerophoria scripta, male (i think) http://www.mobisux.com/album/data/500/3602...

Found this on a tree. Can anyone tell me what this is? It looks like different insects are mixed together?
tnx

They looked me even more funny, when i mentioned i shoot bugs from real close

Thanks..now i get it.

The flash i'm making won't look like that, i'm using very small flash lights, Her's one i will be using. I will most certainly try your technique, once i finish this.

Will notify you about polarizing sheet, if you still care to send me.

Well, the thing is that diffuser is a must if i want to use +8 lense, otherwise i get shadow from the lense itself. I try to always shoot at F8, but to never gor below 1/100 . This gives me optimal results. But when the ambien light is really bad and flash is just not enough, i use led ring also. It...

Hey Tom

This flys are very friendly here and very into shooting I just hade to be patient and wait by the flower with camera ready. My knees are still hurting because of that
