I saw some nice insect photos in the Telegraph and a link to Flikr where there was a picture of this chaps Pentax and old K-lenses. Macro photographer Thomas Shahan shares his secrets – MYRMECOS - Insect Photography - Insect Pictures
I know we have excellent photographers on WAB and look forward to their comments

They're cracking and give me a huge feeling of inadequacy!  |

Macro - another of my projects for this spring and summer. 
Just need a set of extension tubes to reverse the lens onto and I'l be set. Having said that, a flash bracket for off-camera positioning would be handy as well.
If I can get images anywhere near as good as those then I'll be very happy indeed! |

A quick heads up: I bought a flash bracket after seeing the results in this video and elsewhere and nearly lost my flash when the mount holding it to the bracket snapped off. It was a £30 L bracket off THAT auction site. Going to look slesewhere now unless anyone has any suggestions? |

I bought a twin arm Manfrotto bracket. The flash goes on a ball and socket, for the height, and a folding reflector on the other arm. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manfrotto-33...9659079&sr=8-2

Hakuba Lh-1 flash brackets are popular, and I'm trying to pick one up myself. However I am somewhat reluctant to buy one from THAT auction website, especially since it is sourced from Hong kong.
I'd be interested to hear of other places I might pick one up. | | |
