Small butterflies in garden (Macro)
Hi Folks.
I had a quick few minutes in the garden today,with my macro lens,I used the EX 430 flash and the 450D.
These are the results,these little butterflies called skippers(family Hesperiidae),
very small-about the size of a thumb nail.
It was rather windy_and I nearly just went inside,but the lavendar bushes on the lee side of wind allowed me to attempt these photos.
I used 100/200 iso 200 speed,and AV-10,11,not sure what the regulation BIMBO settings are for macro,I am still learning.
I had the flash on top of camera,with little bit of plastic that pops out over it.
I would like to make a rig up like Dennis S,he has shown us a great set up with his macro rig,he also has a small difuser,which I would like to get,any pointers or advice most welcome.
Thank you Troy and Shelley for comments yesterday.
Regards Chris
