    Wow, Awesome.

    Sure glad my natural eyes don't see that much detail on a fly - if so, the fly would be about the same size as a golden retriever. I'd need a bigger flyswatter.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    May we know what lens you shoot that with? I have a bellows for my OLD film rig, I miss playing with stuff like that.

    Thanks folks.

    James I came from Canon and Nikon 35mm with bellows and macro lenses and somehow I've ended up with Sony CD-1000 and a Panasonic FZ10. On the front of those I add the old 35mm lenses (non reversed). My favourite is the Canon 100mm which is used in this shot.

    The specs for this are : FZ10 @ 1260mm, F/8, 1/60th, ISO 50, IS on, Daylight, added Canon 100mm @ F/5.6, hand held and full frame.

    All the best and thanks again.

    Danny.
