      Thanks Ferdy :o) I think this one was my Lumix FZ38 with the Raynox DMC250 screwed on - the critter is definitely too large for the Raynox MSN202. With that camera I always shoot at minimum aperture (highest available F-whatever) and fairly high speeds and try to compensate with fill in flash through some tissue paper or other means to get indirect light from the flash (bouncing off an aluminum foil or something - nothing fancy ;o) Posted 8 years ago

        That's a good technique, it's how I do most night time photography of insects, can't see any other way to use a small aperture really :) Posted 8 years ago
