Just a few from this evening as i was having withdrawal symptoms, it was a busy weekend with gorse and forest fires.
As ever, K3ii + 52mm tubes + 105mm macro + ringflash and diffuser
Not the best angles, but they're what I could get.

You've got guts, getting so close to those things. Excellent work as usual!

They are all perfectly harmless .......... until they bite you
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

How do you get so close to the flies! They always fly away for me!!

What makes these images stand out is the way the backgrounds compliment the subject and are neutral in terms of attention so the main focus is on the subject itself

excellent shots Derek. must start putting a flash in the bag.
ref your comment in Nigel's post about flash shutter speed, i get 180th with E/V adjustment set to 1/3 on my K5 11s so cannot see that being the reason you cannot get it unless it is a K3 thing
odd lens or 2

Have just changed to 1/2 steps and 180th is there now. not an option in 1/3 steps.
Might be a K3 thing.

looked in my manual and it states in there it is 180th, wonder why it got changed. it would be better if they had gone the other way where some of the other makes are, 1/200 or 1/250

Pentax users like slow sync speeds They prefer the 1/60th and 1/75th of the MX and LX over the 1/250th of later cameras such as the Z-1
