Most dangerous shots ever!

Many thanks for the compliments all
And yes with the 65mm I was very close to him, just very lucky that he sat there, interesting to note that he did respond to the flash - his antenna twitching each time the flash went off. I suspect that he might have flown away had he been in better shape when the flash was used.

Amazing!! What kind of flash do you use, exactly? I have a 150mm Sigma Macro, but just don't understand how to get the lighting right...

Thanks guys

ucfjag for these shots I was using a canon 580EX2 with a lumiquest softbox attached and I've used the same flash (often in the camera hotshoe) with the softbox attached when working with my 150mm and it gives good lighting.
Of course any generally good speedlite will work a 430EX2 or nikon/other brand models

Nice shots! But do these sting? I think they are quite harmless, right? Correct me if I am wrong.
