Ish,and I,had been up and travelling for about 36 hours,after arriving,so common sense would have dictated,a well deserved rest,but,Andres,and I,just had to go out,and try our new flashlights!:-)

Your macros are amazing. Are they stacked images? I just got a mp-e 65 + mt-24ex and I'd **** myself if I ever took a photo like one of these. I really like the lighting on these. I have no idea how you did it, but WOW.

Thank you.No these are all single shots.I try to get parallel as much as possible to maximize the focal plane.

Useful to know, seems to be generally very well thought of although one review complains of all the frogs in their bedroom.....obviously that would be a big plus for me :-P
