Into beetles?
I have always liked these little fellows.

Re: Into beetles?
Colin I don't have real concerns with the shot, but if I was being picky I'd say it's over flashed. If I was being extra picky I'd say it's a bit too saturated as well. Regardless it's a great sharp capture so don't stress over it.  Peter

Re: Into beetles?
G'day Colin. I agree with Peter, the flash may be a little harsh. You may be able to pull a bit back by lowering the contrast.
Re: Into beetles?
Over flashed is a definate as I was up at a mates place without my latest ATJ softbox.
I will give the contrast a nudge and see what I get. Thanks Regards Colin

Re: Into beetles?

 An improvement? Regards Colin

Re: Into beetles?
That is better, but you are now starting to lose detail from the weevil.
Re: Into beetles?
top shot Col
I think the "beetle" is great in the first shot, and just the wood wants darkening down. Second shot now just looks too flat (on my monitor) cheers waz whizzzz, there goes life again.....
But now captured on a Canon 40D with bits http://www.flickr.com/photos/wazonthehill/
