Hi Kevin these look fab. Agreed the head on shot is very cool.

If you don't mind me asking what type of lens do you need to get this close. I do realise thats only half the battle to getting shots like this !

Hi Gary I only use the Canon 100is usm 2.8 macro lens on the canon 7d2 and plenty of patience ?

 

[cargo]

You sure do have patience and skill. Thanks for the info I assumed it would have been some kind of macro kit.

For the avoidance of doubt, regarding

presumably that is the 100 macro Kevin? (Not sure if Gary thought it was or wasn't a macro lens; seems to be readable either way to me.)

Thanks for that Nick I don’t always come across properly well that’s what the wife says ?
