I'm thinking about getting an ext flash.
Don't need anything fancy, manual control is fine

Drop me a line if you have one laying idle.

Found these little lads on the broccoli in the greenhouse,
Will try and get some better shots tomorrow
I think they are cabbage whites, but may be wrong

Im glad you did, That 2nd shot is a cracker, looks ripe for a mono conversion, with the deep blacks and highlights id imagine it would be savage, perfect reflections.

That is one really weird proboscis on that moth! Any idea what it is adapted to eating/what species it is?
It appears to be part of the crambinae family, 1800 or so subspecies
Grass moths.

With great difficulty 😂😂😂
Ah no the flash helps freeze the shot. With whatever magic it is filled with.
Nigel could probably answer that, but I haven't a clue. 😁😁😁

Dan. My ringflash cost me £20 or thereabouts
It's a viltrox jy 780 or something
Not the best in the world but it works 👍🏻
I couldn't get the detail I get without it.
I have yet to get eye detail without a flash. I'm not sure it's possible. Specular highlights ruin it.
Lots of macro you won't need a flash for but there is some you do.
