Did a bit of bug-bothering today. Taken with my FZ8 and the Raynox 150. I really need to get (or make) a diffuser for the pop up flash... I really prefer the ones taken without flash as it is.

Any and all C&C welcome - and any technique tips are even more welcome!

With flash:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Without Flash:

5.

6.

7.

Thanks for looking

Thankyou - that was my favourite too

Very close indeed! Looks like I'm not the only stalker of these beauties!

Great set, I like no2, unusual angle, looks positively evil!

Thankyou - I was quite pleased with the pose of number 2 but I think the focus is a bit dodgy. I also realise now that I should have tried to diffuse the flash. Ah well, we live and learn!
