I'll liking what you've down with the flash bracket. How is that broken down? And where did you get the parts from?

I've tried a few different types of photography genres since taking up the hobby but keep coming back to macro. I really enjoy it.

Yes the warmer feel in the air has certainly got the critters interested in venturing out. Think I may join you in some practice this weekend.

Making a return after sometime away due to some upheaval in my life. Hoping to get back to taking more pics again this year. I had a brief outing with my macro lens in July 2016. Here are a few from that session. They are not the best but I was a little rusty. :) 1. Green Bottle Fly with water...

Thank you Michal. Was the first time I attempted a shot like that and I'm pleased with the result.

Thank you for your feedback Scott.

Dusted off my camera for the first time in years. Still a bit rusty.

Thank you for the comments. The ships Tannoy was blasting out 'we are sailing' as she glided past. The Ships crew will be marching through Portsmouth city centre in January in a special goodbye ceremony. I'll try to get some shots of that.

HMS Ark Royal sailed into a foggy Portsmouth Harbour this morning for the last time as a commissioned ship of the Royal Navy. Apologies for the quality as it was extremely foggy.
