Great day (and night) yesterday.

Many thanks to Rel and Damien for their guidance last night and finding some great subjects.

Now here's another button I didn't know about

Colourful bugs

Pseudophryne raveni
Copper-backed Brood Frog (hope I got that right :roll:

)

Dragonfly still drying out and hardening up.

Mark,

Great to meet you last night.

Love the second spider shot and second last frog shot especially.

Good to see the results from your new 'toy' (i.e. flash bracket) - she's a beauty, eh?

Good work

Cheers

Michael

ps - who is that ugly-looking bloke on the left with green cap on?????

Mark,

As always, some stunning Macros. That 180's working distance is a treat - you were miles away yet get some excellent captures.

Looks like my c/card is getting a hider this week

Mark,
Great stuffs as usual, glad to hear that the Sigma 180 brings to you many beautiful shots.

Thanks folks. Was a great day. And yep, sure do love that lens

The flash setup worked a treat too. I just have to make sure I have two other SB800 owners with me wherever I go :lol:

Didn't get to take too many shots with teh triple setup as John and Tim had their own photos to take but here is one taken with all three.

Crappy subject and focus is a bit ordinary but technically, from a lighting perspective, I think it's worked OK.

Mark, great photos

and I'm in love with your flash set up... giving Damian nightmares

We should have tried cooking on the flashes when we found that first 'buggered' bbq.....
maybe we can try it next time - would be a great shot

Was a pleasure to catch up with you again, and it bloody figures that it rained on our way home doesn't it !!! Bet the frogs were going off last night

Oh well - next time !!!!

Hugs
Rel
