    Thanks for your inquiry Maestro. All these images were taken at close proximity utilizing 100mm macro lens stacked on an extension tube. Aperture setting was between F11 to F16 and diffused flash. Other than that, trial and errormwink.gif:D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Tried squashing it but either I'm slowing down with age or these flies are getting faster headscratch.gif:D
