Summers here and what a difference a flash makes!

[Pete-eos]

New summer rolling in and this year I'm now armed with a flash, off shoe cord and a cheap Jessops flash bracket.

Oh my, there not the best series in the world but flash is invaluable! :twisted:

Little shocked I managed to get an inflight hover on my 1st go, shame he was camera shy!

Lord V: HIF - head in focus? I've been out of the macro section to long :)

daveyboy123: Yup did notice that, shopped it out of the full size version, damn dust!

I love the #2 one, difficult to get in focus when in flight I would imagine. Wonderful series of shots... :cool:

first one is just the best from that great series i think.

brilliant pictures, i love number 1 and the last one.

What tubes are you using with this set up? they produce VERY good images:)

[3dog]

All of them are great shots. How close are you from the subject?

[Pete-eos]

Thanks again!

willy b: Am using Jessops extension tubes.

3dog: with 65mm of tubes, I'd say the end of the lens was 1-2cm away from the subjects, not sure how they kept still!!

Excellent images.
