Rained on.

I can't get as close as the guys with the MP-E65, so I have to use tubes to get closer, but even then it doesn't have the magnification or clarity.

Still, I'll make do with it until I get another load of money (but that will have to be a lottery win not redundancy, lol)....

This is a cranefly, but it was at as awkward an angle as it could be, as it sheltered on the drier side of the garden fence, but I had to stand across the soil bed (very muddy) and shoot from slightly above to get the eyes, which made for harder positioning all round.

Brilliant refraction on the eye! Nailed it and at ISO 3200 as well. Very nice mate.

Cheers buddy (I did use a sweep of NR though).
