Super detail in these as ever Derek... that (water?) drop on the first one is brilliant...

Best

Another great quality set Derek - the detail is incredible - keep shooting

as others have said a great set Derek but i still think you,ve got to be keeping them in the fridge. seriously wish my hands were that steady, well done.

Cheers guys,
Hi Bill,
The water drop ? I'm not sure what it is, we had no rain for a week, so I kind of thought it might be something it produced itself, like flies do ?
Maybe someone could enlighten me, as I just dont know.

Cheers John, it's a damn fine lens so thank you 👍👍👍

Ahh Joe, my grass stained knees will testify to the lack of fridges
I've had to change my way of shooting since using the bellows, as next to no light comes through to the viewfinder. Rear screen is a must now, so focus peaking certainly helps, I often miss shots because of the time it takes to focus and try to match my movements with the breeze. With a dof that's only mm's in depth it's more than a little tricky. But it's so rewarding too.
The locals are all well used to seeing me rooting around in ditches and bushes at this stage
