Not the best to be honest but it was a short few mins out in the garden on a very blustery day.

The first one is using flash and the next two images are in my opinion, not very good natural light shots. It's something I really DO need to practice more often as I struggle greatly when using natural light.

Lovely captures Ian.

It has been pretty naff down south too. Focus was simpy about timing when the flower blew back into the frame

I prefer the flash shot in this case. I don't shoot natural light, I have enough to learn how to shoot with a flash!

Very nice hover shots, Ian. I like them all but my favourite is the first shot.

Thanks all

Definitely not a natural light person hehe but I certainly do intend to practice more somewhat with that one. Been too many occasions when I've been out, had my macro lens with me (as it has so many other uses besides macro) and no flash and missed the opportunity of a decent bug shot
