Hi all,

Not posted in a while so I thought I would share these. Snowflakes and Woodlouse. One of the snowflakes was shown on Winterwatch Unsprung on Monday Night

Having fun with the new kit.

Nice shots Matt - do like the eye detail in the louse. Can see too why the snow drop was shown.

What's the new toy ?

Thanks Chris it's a canon 6d, mpe65 and mt 24 ex flash and some diffusers

Love those matt, I didnt know woodlice would be out in such cold weather, maybe it might be worth a walk to my local woods this weekend and see what I can turn over with some of the dead-wood

Agree with the eyes, great detail.
The flake looks real nice too.
Well done for getting your shot on the TV

Thanks all, I'll be selling my old kit soon

The best part about the image being featured was Nick baker saying that he knows what kit I used as we had been chatting over Christmas, and he expects great things from me haha.....no pressure then!
