Any C&C welcome.
Hope they are of interest.


Roger.

Can someone please tell me....
Is there such a thing , similar to the coiled one supplied by 7DayShop, as a straight flash lead, since I've found the coiling restricting re placing of the flash in relation to the camera / subject?

any suggestions?

Thanks,

Roger.

Thanks for the advice....It worked!

100mm D FA Macro + 64mm tubes.

Mayfly larva, 8-9 mm long.


Roger

Thanks Mike & Algi.
Will scrape later!

Roger.

When using my Jessops "KA Auto"(!) ext. tubes on my K7, they're not talking to one another!
I remember a post mentioning removing the paint to allow contact tube/tube.(The "first" & "last" mounts are plated metal.)
How does one remove said paint?
Tried scraping but it just makes a mess of the mounts!
Paint stripper!?

Is there a particular area that needs to make contact, or the whole thing?
Any other way round it?

Thanks,

Roger.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow.....

She becomes more beautiful as time passes.

A delight!

Roger.

Yes, Neil, it's in the plastic dish in the first image of my post, showing the set-up.

I'd be interested to see both your set-up & any images you have, plus any hints/tips on improving my own!

Roger.


just looked at your post of 23.11.11 again.
My comments still apply!

Got it!

Thanks, Jon, found it on the Kensington & Chelsea site, of all places!! Thanks for the link!

It's a Phantom Midge larva, Chaoborus obscuripes (!)


Next........

Roger.

Another, to aid identification...

Thanks, all,

Roger.

Thanks, folks, for the interest & encouragement!

I Googled Images for culex larva, Jeeess, but not too sure....

"mine" seems to have more of a fan structure at the end, rather than that classic angled-tube arrangement for breathing through the surface film.....?
And the head-end looks narrower / more pointed.....?

RCA, can you narrow it down from "a Fly" ?

Roger.
