Very helpful for it to be dead I expect!

Gotta K-3iii now, had a K-S2, K50 and so suffering from a relapse and so buying digital camera kit.
Previous addiction has resulted in using Zeniths, Yashicamat, Chinons, Minoltas, Samsungs, Fujis, Cosina, Kodak, Lumix, Canon, Nikon and Pentax etc etc - have tried most makes in the past 50 years. Love cameras - love taking photos even more

Perfect pose, perfect lighting. Stunning (once again).

It's amazing how tiny creatures drop dead in your house when they're in immaculate condition and you've got time to photograph the result.

Thanks, all.

It's perhaps because I go around looking & have trained myself to notice.............

Gareth has the right comment here!
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Wow Roger. This one looks like it earned two 'Palme d'Or' from the Cannes film festival. I wonder: do you clean these critters up in any way before taking their portraits?

Thanks Chaps!

If when I'm taking set-up shots for stacking, for exposure, composition, etc, any bits of dust, crud, etc. become apparent, they're removed with a (Rocket-type) blower.Good things, aren't they?
It works v.well on furry-looking scales, as long as they're blown "with the grain", if you see what I mean.....
