Thanks Derek, the Wasp Spider was new to me as well, fortunately an area in the grounds was marked with an image of what you can expect to see, the Dragonfly spent 45 mins or so, taking off from a wooden bridge and returning to the same spot a few minutes later.

I googled for the voltage and couldn't find anything, My understanding is that most flash guns prior to the digital age, have high trigger voltages that will fry the electronics of digital camera's, I'd play safe and use a separate trigger to fire it. They can be found on fleabay for £15 ish

I've done a bar gig recently, lighting was a mix of LED indoor ceiling light and natural light used a 24 - 70 F2.8 for the group shots and picked off some portraits with a Sigma 70 - 200 F2.8,
800 ISO - F2.8 - K1 - Pentax 24 to 70 @ 24mm
400 ISO - F2.8 - K1 - Sigma 70 to 200 @ 128mm
800 ISO - F2.8 - K1 - Pentax 24 to 70 @ 24mm
400 ISO - F2.8 - K1 - Sigma 70 to 200 @ 128mm

Do like the first one, shame about the blades of grass on the moth but I know they can be easily scared off if you start moving around trying to get the perfect angle.
Thanks Mike, don't I know it, I chased him around the garden at least twice before grabbing this shot Do like the first one, shame about the blades of grass on the moth but I know they can be easily scared off if you start moving around trying to get the perfect angle.

The flower shots are awesome, it's difficult to get the exposure right on this type of colour, but these are spot-on.
