Ive fone so many steriograms now i have a head ache each time i do them haha

Very nice shots Brian. looks like ur getting used the the 40d now;)

[LordV]

Thanks Lance :)
Yes using the 40D is no problem but don't think I've quite got the RAW processing/ PP correct yet as I'm having to use a different RAW processor.

Very nice set Brian springtails are my favourite, going to brave the cold in a bit and get some frost shots.

Lol if these arent processed well id hate to see some done well ones9good england i was) Does the 40D have built in dust shaky thing?

Yes the 40D does have the anti dust thingy - It does it when you turn it on and apparently when you turn it off. Last one is a bit annoying as I'm used to turning off the camera and removing the CF card immediately so I keep on stopping it mid shake :)
The camera came with 4 spots on it that haven't moved (probably oilly stuff)

Theres probibly a custom function to turn the anti shake on power down off?

Love the spider!! They are such cute fellows!!

Nice series Brian, really like the Hoverfly shots. What RAW convertor did you use (I presume DPP).

Another great set of shots - very surprised to see the hovers after the frosts we have had, but you may not have had such severe frost as slightly further inland.

That springtail is soooo cute!

great shots as always. i love the springtails. and the fly photos are awsome. i like first of the fly pics in this series the most!

[Bill Pham]

you know i got to go with the hover right. interesting that they are still around. i haven't seen a bug around for awhile now. not counting my mantids.

Great shots Brian. I particularly like the spingtail. Don't you love getting a nice, pristine sensor.;)

Irwin

[LordV]

Thanks for looking and commenting everyone - much appreciated.

Dave- Yes I'm using DPP for the RAW conversion -seem to be getting reasonable results.

Irwin - Yes would be nice to get a pristine sensor (this has got 4 minor blobs on it as it came from the factory).

good focus on the Globbles but I like the fly best.

Thanks Toby :)
Those window gnats are odd- they either fly off as soon as you go near them or they just sit there posing like that one.

Can't believe you are still finding hovers Brian, nice shots as always ;)
