Not been doing much of late. here's a macro shot done in the garden the other day.
Nikon D2X
Nikkor 105 f/2.8 macro (dropped downstairs so has selective focus and rattles disconcertingly!)
SB800 flash with home-made softbox
1/60 @ f/16

Nice to see these emerging from hibernation - this lady looks like she's survived the winter in perfect condition. Great parallel focus plane. :toast:

Excellent detail, and DOF. I hope your lens holds out OK. I'm still learning with my Sigma SD14, I shall try some diffused flash today :smile: after I've painted my shed :frown:
Thank you for the inspiring shot.
