Good shooting, but you didn't bring a flash? looks like you could have got more DOF with a flash

I don't even own a Flash, I never really liked using a flash, I still prefer available light even if now the flash are pretty good ..... maybe I will own one someday !!!

You can always bias to available light while using the flash (and diffuser) to help prop up some extra DOF

Im with you on this one mike, the images lack texture and detail and dof which a hand held off camera flash fired across the wings would produce.

cheers don

Good points Donald, if I do end-up taking more photos of little insects and butterflies a flash might be a good addition but for the moment I still don't shoot them often enough.
