All nice, but the third shot is just plain insane. You are the master of manual focus. Was this with the mpe65 ?

Very nice Brian, as usual. Like #2 and #5 really good.

Thanks Silves and Brian
Silvex- Yes #3 was with the MPE-65

Superb set of shots again. #5 and #6 are particularly nice

Hiya Brian,

Excellent series of shots, love the Metallic colours of the Fly in #2 but #5 is my favorite !

Cheers for now
Mark

Very nice series indeed - the qualty of teh last one is exceptional .

What type of Fly is the 2nd one ? ...

I think the spider is technically the best shot there - fantastic image. I presume it is a stack?

Thanks for looking and commenting everyone- much appreciated

Gordon- #2 is a dolichopid fly I only seem to get two types of these in the garden- the 2nd type is like a miniature version of this (about 1/4 of the size)

RM yes #6 is 7 shot stack

Another good series Brian, my faves are #2 and #3. I note that #1 lacked eye detail, and suspected it was shot in natural light (which the EXIF seems to support). In fact, all of them, exept the last one (which is missing the full EXIF) seem to be shot in natural light, am I correct? If that's the case, the Dragonfly details are amazing for natural light shots. I presume they are stacked images?

Thanks dave

No think they are all flash shots- your EXIF reader must be playing up
All the bugs have reasonable eye detail in the originals but without cropping it tends to get lost on web reduction. Yes the DF shots were stacked.

Odd, Windows doesn't show the full EXIF, stupid Winblows. True about the eye detail and original size, didn't think about that!

Great series again Brian
