Had a chance to try out the macro setting today. A very obliging insect was doing what ever they do on one of my runner beans today. Not sure what this is.. Smaller then a hover fly, about 5mm long.       __________________ |

Excellent shots, Robert. I think it might be a hoverfly as there are so many different ones in various sizes and shapes. I'll look for my hoverfly link and post it up for you to see. |

I have been experimenting with taking pictures of water drops. I came up with this one today. I hope to improve and watch this space for more  |

I looked at this last evening, Robert, but I'm still not sure if I like it or not. I'll check back later on and perhaps I can make friends with these pics then.

How do I do it.
Required is...
One dripping tap
One sheet paper (I used a flyer for first one)
Camera set on manual 500th sec and macro mode.
flash to auto
Hold card behind dripping tap.
Focus on base of tap and then move camera down to dripping water.
Flash...bang..wallop..what a picture.
You will need to experiment for the best effect, and take loads of pictures.
Good luck
