Here's a place for people to put their latest pics.

Here's my crap :)

Was VERY lucky to get this. I don't think this guy was well at all. Tattered wings, battered body. Probably the only reason he stayed still, but still managed to fly off after I shot him.

Bradchip, the best way i've found to photograph flying insects in situ is to catch them and pin them onto a plant.
 
Wow, Brad, again they're awesome!! The question is, how did you become so good?! Very envious lol :eek:
Love the straddy photos, especially the underwater shots :D and Riley is gorgeous :) Love your macro shots, too!

DanielK those are some cool macro shots :) I especially love the 3rd one!

here's a couple of my favourites that I've taken (nothing compared to yours, Brad ;) )

my first ever lightning shot, which I'm quite happy with :D

A long time to go till mine are like yours mate but i'll throw some up. I only just got myself an off camera flash so really looking forward to learning how to use that :)

Great shots- what shutter speed, lens, camera, lighting? Dont mean to be annoying, I'm just about to launch into macro so I'm keen to know :D
 
Thanks Steve. I use a Nikon D90. It is a great camera but it means I have a max shutter speed of 2hundredths of a second when using flash (this really annoys me and I can't find a way around it). Lens is a Tamron 90mm f2.8 which I think is a fantastic lens for the price. Lighting is the on board flash in the last three and my new sb700 in the first two. I had it on an iso of 100 or 200 for all of those from memory.

I am only a beginner so the only advice I will give is that the sb700 really helps with macro as the tamron is an extending lens when focusing. This means that the on board flash casts shadows on very close subjects.
