An hour in the undergrowth

[simon ess]

Spent a pleasant hour or so crawling through the undergrowth in my favourite buggy place. Hope you like the results.











Thanks for looking. C+C welcome.

I seem to be one of those lucky people who don't suffer from insect bites. The occasional nip maybe, but nothing really. I put it down to long summers in the Med. when I was a kid. I built up a resistance to mosquitos etc.

Thanks for all your kind comments.

These were with Nikon D90 and Sigma 150mm macro, so very similar to yours. No tubes or attachments.
I used an SB 600 flash on camera with a lumiquest softbox difuser.

For now, try cobbling together a difuser for your onboard flash, just to give you an idea of how flash helps.
