Looking good. I find that if i go out looking for insects, i cant find them!

 

[Ewan]

Thanks guys.

I hardly ever go out looking for insects. I usually just find them by accident when looking for birds

*puts hand on heart* I took it with my Fuji

Not my fugi - not sure what that is

Can't see the pic right now (thankyou Flickr for having the slowest server in the goddam world!) to view exif data but what I normally use is Aperture priority, F3.2 (low as it can go). Spot or matrix metering :shrug:. Macro mode on. Full zoom. Handheld. Can't remember exact distance but around half a metre :shrug: Like I said just go to about 1 metre, focus, take pic, move closer, focus, take pic..

Hope this helps

And thanks again everyone for the kind comments.
