Hairy bugs

[animal168]

a few from this last week.
I have been experimenting with my flash. These are taken with the a single flash mounted on a bracket above and to the left of the end of the lens. Milk bottle diffuser.
I read an article on the net last week and it mentioned that you can always tell a newbie macro togger because of the black background. My sigma macro flash gives me black backgrounds, so feeling a bit hurt ,I thought I would dust off my original flash.

1. I quite liked this effect. Spider on its web in a plant pot with water in the bottom.

2. Giddy up lass

3. Yello Dung Fly

4. Baby Dance Fly

C & C welcome

Hi dave, those are excellent shots Like to know who said that about a black background? Sometimes it really works well and brings out detail!

The lighting is working well Dave - Good detail - and there's nowt wrong with a black baackground , it can be used to isolate a subject really well as Steve says.
