Superb Brian.

I can never capture them as detailed as that. Like Bill, I always seem to lose sharpness on the eyes.

Hiya Brian,

The Master strikes again eh Superb series of shots the detail in #3 is outstanding.

I've just noticed a few around but as yet not got near one, normally the damn things fly right into one but they seem a bit nervy so far :rolleyes:

Cheers for now

Did you use 105mm for all the shots or switch to the MPE for 2 & 3 ?

i want to know too ^

outstanding sharpness and focus in the last 2. Great stuff as usual.

With my 105 + tubes i can never get that magnification, im guessing you used the mpe?
