I have an addiction...

...which is to photograph bugs too much! Of course this is a biased view from a particular son of ours and my wife.

Went back to Brushy Creek, here in Central Texas...didn't even have to get wet this time.

#2 Grasshopper...I'm gonna have a bad dream about this guy!

NICE!
I really like that first dragonfly shot - mind sharing the kit and the how?

Sure and thanks for the comment. Everything I do from start to finish with macro photography is revealed HERE. You can skip to step 2 to get into the meat of my discussion.

Thanks,

Thanks for that - info on the flash power settings is certainly usefull since many still stick to auto flash (I know I tend to) and the HDR edit is something I will have a try at - Dalentech certainly gets round the macro world!

Yep both Dalentech and LordV get around a lot. I do use flash a lot in macro.
