that is the purple form of the Meadow Grasshopper, the one on your flash is a Cricket. Great portrait shot #3

Great shots M-J.

Lovely detail. Apparently the ring-flash generates just the right amount of heat to keep their feet warm during our wonderful summer...:rolleyes:

Good shots - its still possible to get dust on the sensor without ever taking the lens off - can get in through focusing mechanism

beautiful shots man, I really like your setup too, it's got me re-thinking my next lens purchase!

The tool you need is the healing brush tool. I have to use it almost every time I PP to get rid of sensor dust.
