A Mosquito had a good feed off the back of my hand today.
Safe landing.
 
Terrific sequence! superb!
You have omitted the final shot though, the one where your other hand comes down and splats the little bugger :D

absolutely amazing pictures, again.
what flash do you use, your pictures are always well illuminated.

seriousely, these pics are above and beyond the call of duty. I would have splat it then took pictures.

Thanks for looking Torque, I just use the onboard flash as it doesn't have a hotshoe and a home made diffuser, made from a toilet roll tube, tin foil and kitchen paper all held on with a rubber band. :)

Top class stuff :clap:

I'm so tempted to buy one of these Raynox doodahs for my old Sony H1 thats knocking about.

Stunning macros.
Click to expand...
Thanks for looking Tom. I use them on my canon too so if you did get one don't just save it for your Sony.;)
 
I think we should be thanking you for sharing these pictures with us :D - they are amazing.

For a beginner like me with just my 350D and kit lens, what would you recommend as my next step/purchase towards better macro shots? Lets say I had only £200 to spend - or would that not be enough :(

Thanks for your kind words CD. I take a shot with my canon and the raynox dcr 250 tomorrow and show you the outcome. The raynox is about £35 ish and you could get another lens with what you have leftover;)
TomB said:
Which lenses do you use it with on your DSLR? I'm guessing they're too small to use with my Sigma 150mm macro (72mm filter), but what sort of effect do they have on 'standard' zoom lenses?
Click to expand...
I use it with my 28-105 and the 70-300. You need a thread size between 52-67mm for the adaptor.
