All right, friends - After a long wait of 11 months, I have acquired a Macro Ring-Flash for my macro & portrait work. This shot is from the first trip ... getting to know the new family member, you know!
;-)
This bug is a fantastic guy ... providing plenty of photo-ops, but is jumpy when using flash from close quarters. The flash did bring out the dazzling array of neon colors of the li'l fellow.
Have a good day!
Update on 21/11/11: This is a 'Long-Legged Fly'. Thanks, Ezhil for the ID ... You are great!
