What a great birthday present! And a what a way to show how good a present it is! 3, 6 and 7 are the pick of a very good set for me, though I like 2 a lot as well. And the first one...it looks like a very good flash, and you seem to have got the hang of it pretty fast.

Hi George.
You have certainly made very good use of your new piece of kit, always fancied a ring flash, but there is always other callings on the money.
No 10 is the shot for me.
Take care.

No adjustments to the flash were made and all were taken with a bit of trial and error by adjusting the aperture / ISO.

I had been trying to get a half decent shot of an ant but they were too quick for me by the time I'd focused or crossed the point of focus.
Any comments appreciated.
