Thanks for the feedback, I reckon this will turn out to be a one off experience. I got this chap just after he emerged from the exuvia. I cut the stem and placed it in a metal peg that screws onto a small lightweight tripod, I could then orientate and place the chaser anywhere I wanted. the camera was on another tripod and i used mirror lockup. I took literally hundreds of shots becasue there was an intermittent breeze.
