Nice shot you got. Moving subjects make it fun but so frustrating if you miss it. You done well here

Cheers Bruce.

I had 3 other shots, all of them failures!

That's what makes these ones special. Some people make it seem so easy. Maybe I'm a bit big and clumsy for this macro lark but I love the fun. Swearing through gritted teeth just enhances it all haha

I have lots of bad ones to sift through - but it's always good to get a result.

Well caught Paul looks good
nice light and composition
I'm too slow to catch moving macro subjects!

Cheers Pete - I'm like most, happier if they still still for the camera...

Yeah they are annoying when they get going, but you got the focus bang on. Just a shame the front leg obscures the face so much, but they are really tough to get a good angle on even when they are still! Good work! I like how you can see it putting down a safety line

Even slow, seen through the viewfinder they are extremely fast, lol..

Got lucky, 4 triggered shots, one good enough.
