Hello, thanks for looking in. I was very lucky a few weeks ago to be given a bit of a practical primer by @g8ina of this parish. Anyway, this is my first batch of shots from my first solo adventure into the bug world.
All of these shots were taken with my D7000 and Nikor 55-200VR "kit" lens with 48mm (36+12) Meike extension tubes (this give me 1:1 at 105mm with a focus distance of approx 200mm off the front of the lens) I have found this to be a very useful setup, when I see what I want to shoot the zoom helps me get the focus quite close and then I let the autofocus take over (single point & servo). I was using a Meike ring flash. Being new to this I was experimenting with settings as I went along and kind of lost track...Its all in the exif which I will mine to see what worked best, what fun!
All suggestions and comments gratefully received, I am here to learn so please don't feel the need to hold back.Ta.
