Taken yesterday - found it sheltering from the rain on some nettles. No photography today - really droughting down. :puke:

Took the oppo to shoot it at different F ratings as it was in no state to fly due to weather. Also first bug that's defeated my diffusers :crying: You can see the light in the eyes.

Mags are an approximation.

So clear and crisp - fantastic photo's - Personally I feel the lights in the eyes don't really detract. I'd love to get ones like these!(y)

Must practice must practice!
 
First one of the season!, some nice captures there and the flash in the eyes is no too distracting. Assume it's a MT-24, what do you currently use for diffusers?
 
Thanks for the info on the diffusers, I'm currently using a couple of pop up flash diffusers velcro'd onto the Flash heads - think I'll try some vellum to soften it a bit more. PS Great website !
