I dont doubt it, having never had a chance before.
I was a bit dumb struck that it stayed still at all, makes sense that might be newly emerged.
Many thanks
Derek.

I always envied the mayfly and dragonfly shots that so many of you post on here.
I just never seemed to get the chance,
While in the garden this evening doing my usual fly rounds I spot this guy on the hedge, :shock::shock::shock:

Not the best shots by any stretch, but I was still glad to get them

Completely wrong setup, its too big to get him all in, didnt want to risk going to change, so I took some shots anyway, he finally got fed up and flew away.

Pascal I get why,
The flash eliminates the need for sr, as you said , unless trying to combine ambient as well, I hadn't thought of that, I might try it and see.

It's more than a little fuzzy alright.
I did start a thread on it before, around ext tubes, do you just add the ext length to the focal length or is there a magnification factor.
With the bellows being basically a variable ext tube I balanced out adding an extra 75mm, sometimes I would have more extension than that and sometimes a little less. I have to input something,
It's about as clear as muddy dishwater, it's a pity there isn't a definitive answer

Hi. No I'm using a lester A Dine 105mm macro and bellows.

I have to manually input a focal length due to the bellows. I have fallen into the habit of inputting 180mm for the focal length for sr purposes, it may well be the wrong thing to do, but it seems to work.

A few flies from yesterday, I think they are worth clicking through for the larger sizes.
Shot handheld in the garden


Dung fly

And i was shooting the fly, when the dung fly came down and killed it

I literally watched as the dung fly drained the life from it.

Not enough space to show all the ones that were just a tad (Or a lot) focused in front or behind 😂😂😂

I'm very gracious, and I'll gladly accept your faint praise 😁😁😁

Had a little while to play in the garden today, managed to get a few.

This one was on something hanging from a strand of web and spinning and blowing in the little breeze that was blowing, I was surprised I got it at all tbh
