Damselfly

[coopers]

Decided to get a bit closer,so used a 36mm extension tube on my Canon 180 for this shot.
Also had a play with my ring flash and have now got it diffused with a few layers of plastic packing material (as per suggestions from this vey useful forum ) and now feel I am getting a bit closer to controlling the light.

Went out a bit later in the evening for this shot...

Thanks George,much happier with the lighting set up now.

Colours look nice but the eye seems out of focus compared to the body which is always a shame for shots like this. It's tough trying to get all the important bits in focus! c

Azure Damselfly.

Spot on with composition, exposure - keeping the background with some colour shows good control of the lighting. At this magnification, without stacking, you'll either get the eye of the thorax sharp not both. I think you have got it just right.
