Great series :D I love the first two :D How did you manage to shoot these in the dark? I've tried it before (using a flash light) and found out that it is harder that it sounds.

Great shots Ahmad, very sharp and very well composed, were these outside in the Wild? or maybe perhaps possibly indoors? Inquiring Minds would love to know.:D :D :D :D

Wonderful series Ahmad- love #2&3. Do you use a torch to aid focusing?

Absolutely incredible photos. Joining this forum has shown me just how much more I have to learn with regards to macro shots. I also want to know how you managed to capture these in the dark??


Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I'll decline..

Thank you Mr. Alon. There was some kinda street light. With manual focus it was acceptable.

Hello ty
focusing and light are the prime factors in macro shooting.

Thank you very much for your kind words Rick, appreciate your comment.

It was in a house garden, outdoors of course.

Thank you very much for your kind words Brian. No, there was some kinda street light, with manual focusing and forth and back movements of course.

Thank you very much fo ryour kind words. Well it wasn't absolute dark, there was some kinda street lighting, and the flash did the job.
