Cheers bud Saw another cool fly yesterday but it got away...was there when I pressed the button but gone by the time the pic was taken. Got a nice pic of where it used to be! This one was a bit of a poser

Nice dolichopid series, pop the flash in manual and without the preflash you will stand more chance of getting the nervous little devils.

Cheers Alby...I'll just have to find another of that one that got away. I tend to only use manual flash for stacks...the halfing/doubling of flash and fine tuning with 1/3rd stops on the ISO gets a bit tiring after a few shots...I soon go back to ETTL with FEC that I can control from the camera. (have also noticed when doing fill-flash that the lowest manual setting on the flash is way higher than you can get using ETTL.) But aye, know what you mean about the pre-flash spooking the subject

I like number 2, but they are all very good
