Re: Macro mix from the weekend
Thank you, Sym, Joshmacro, Sippyjug and Mark
Mark and Sym - Those would be Jackal flies exhibiting their Kleptoparasitic behavior.
Joshmacro - My settings are generally: ISO 200 (Keep noise low), 1/100-1/160, f8-f11 (close it down as I increase magnification)
Flash used on all, TTL +/- 0.3EV
