3 and 4 for me Brian, love close up shots of these.

[LordV]

Thanks Alistair :)
Quite funny shooting these- not likely to fly off but as soon as they see a camera lens approach they walk round the other side of the leaf :)

The last shot is stunning Brian, great detail and lighting! Great work as usual ;)

All absolutely superb shots, lighting is great.

When you say 'full flash', surely you dont mean pop up flash do you?

Thanks Neil and Linda for the comments :)

Linda - no I mean using an external flash gun with the camera in M mode rather than Av or Tv mode.

Tell me about it, i end up chasing them round and round, bush crickets are the same, always turning away from camera :-)
