I managed to get the little'un out of mum's hair for a couple of hours. Of course she wanted to go to the rain forest.
Who am I to argue?


A better angle for this one perhaps


a better group of tiny blues


this looked fairly plain till it was lit by flash, then it had a blue stem. Interesting.

I think I need to utilise at least one more flash for some of this stuff.

That last blue stem is wonderful!

#1 is beautiful, I love the colours

These are pretty good colin. I prefer the compo in the #1 but wonder whether it would have been better to have the bushy thing also in focus (I guess you may need to focus stack or something).

The blues are fascinating!

I guess we have to take your word for it.

Where do you hold your flash for these shots? Or is it on-camera? If you had another, how would you use it?

I love that blue colour in them!

In the second I would like to see more light spill on the background, this would illuminate that lovely green and provide a surreal contrast of natural colours...

man, imagine the awesome trip you would have if ya polished a few of them blue ones off!

The first one is technically very nice, perfect for the text book or fungi lovers handbook.

Thanks fellas,

These were with the flash on camera as I did not have any hands free with the grom there, good excuse for being lazy.
If I had an off camera flash going as well then I could backlight, fill background, and remove some of the cast shaddows perhaps. The old ring flash I have just does not have the kick I want or the compatibilty.
