a fly and a bug

[stan the man]

went for a walk to a local woodland area for some bluebell shots,and on the way back to the car,i decided to shoot a fly or two i saw,then spotted a bug on a leaf..difficult to get though..as it was pretty breezy.sigma 105 and natural light,no flash with me :bonk:

C+C welcome..

Sun is harsh in the fly shot Stan and the weevil soaks it up a bit better, you could have done with the flash to naturalise it but you knew that. The weevil looks to be the same as my one I just posted

cheers alby,yeah..i knew i'd regret not having the flashgun with me,but having said that..i never intended doing any macro shots TBH.I also think the flash might not have been any use,as the working distance between the lens and subject was about 5-6 inches...i need a proper macro flash methinks.also thanks for the ID on the bug

after posting about a way of getting a macro flash without the expense of a dedicated macro flash,hacker came up with a cheap and easy way of doing it..just by using velcro.tried it out just now,and i'm impressed with the results...

never realised my mobile was so dirty
