I'll try and speed the flash up higher next time. The problem is to see the detail I am using 2X/3X magnification and then the depth of field is a mm or so.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-58281588851901066172016-08-04T04:58:50.079+01:002016-08-04T04:58:50.079+01:00Siddhartha, thank you very much.Siddhartha, thank you very much.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-69599565669453997472016-08-03T18:53:15.643+01:002016-08-03T18:53:15.643+01:00Thanks for the tip as to why I find lacewings diff...Thanks for the tip as to why I find lacewings difficult to photograph, Adrian.

There are many better shots taken through it but most are of dead insects, If they fly away when I shoot they do. I don't know why it takes me so long to work something as simple as sharp. I guess I'm special needs. I do use a prismatic screen to aid close focus and do support both camera and subject on my left arm. It does become easy with a bit of practise. Like using rear brake to change down fast on a good bike.
