thanks for the comments all,, this was shot using a Canon 40D, Sigma 105mm macro lens, no tubes,,
1/125 s
f 13 ISO 200
Manual
Canon 430ex off camera mounted on a Novoflex flash bracket, flash was diffused with a Lumiquest softbox,,
Thanks again for looking and commenting
 
How did you get the little bugger to sit still long enough?
 
thanks again,, these Dashers are pretty willing subjects, for me at least, I can approach them and get within 10-12" of their face and blast flash shot after flash shot before they finally fly away,, a guy on another site nicknamed me the "Dragon Whisperer" LOLOL Ive had a way with these guys and other insects as well,,:lol:
 
Are those lips? :lmao::lmao::lmao:
 
OMG! The best I've seen in Macro so far!!
