Bug Eyes

Hi All,

This one's a tribute to Ving

A bug that sat still long enough to get in realllll close.

Canon 40D and Canon 100mm F2.8 macro with my 580EXII speed lite on an extension lead.

Enjoy!

Thanks Fellas,

I wondered why this little fella was being so co-operative... I swear he was alive when I took the pic's but he keeled over not long after. Suspect he was a victim of Baygon

cheers,

Rob
