Macro Beasties 2

Hi all. Many thanks for the comments on my other images its much appreciated.

Heres a few more from the archives. The first one is me using a technique called the Left Hand Brace technique. I use it alot as a way of steadying both the subject and me. I works best on windy days as the bugs are less likley to register you holding onto the leaf etc. You would be amazed how many bugs will tolerate this. The diffusers have evolved since then into something much more elaborate.

A deep focus stack of a Marbled White Butterfly. Handheld in its natural enviroment using the above technique. Think it would have been about 7 or 8 images.
