Superb series Alby.

The things we'll do to get the shot...;)

I think I'd be like Bill, and swat her on landing... :D

Bet the bump is still itching.

Amazing shots Alby. Having followed your work for awhile, I am not amazed at the quality. I am amazed that you restrained yourself from squishing the sucker.

It must have been easy ;-)a Once the camera was set up all he had to do was move his hand. (and live with being done over by a woman :-) )

Thanks everyone for you comments, much appreciated :-D

Neil_r you're right on the money with you answer to Gliderparentntn. I rested the camera pretty much on my wrist and arm. It was shot with the Panasonic FZ8 and the Raynox MSN 202.

WOW! What fabulous shots! They should be in a text book on malaria.
I am impressed as to how you took it with one hand.

I just did a Ebay search on the lens you spoke of and wow you got that type of iQ from a 65.00 lens? Thats amazing. Now i don't know anything or searched the Panasonic body but I had honestly thought you was going to say you used the MPE-65 lens for this. This is a lens I keep trying to talk myself out of and thank goodness you didn't tell me it was the lens you used as I would had to bought it today ;)
