thanks for the critique. not to justify myself but there's a reason for the flaws and i'm working on it
sharpness - subject was in an awkward position and partially covered by a leaf from certain angles. i could have gotten better sharpness if i could align my camera parallel to the subject but i would have to poke it and hope that it doesn't fly away... it was night... i wouldn't be able to find it again if it flew :sweat:
lighting - flash was mounted on hotshoe. light was directed downwards through a soft-box. overall, lighting was not sufficiently diffused - ring flash on the way.
subject - its also my first time encountering it. its quite a rare creature
lens - buy buy buy :devil:
First post with the F*300mm...
Plenty sharp at f5.6 (ISO200, 1/800s)
Screw drive AF is fast enough to catch birds in flight (ISO400, 1/3200s, f5.6)
And no worries about flare (ISO200, 1/4000, f8)
Now, if only there was a nice TC to go with it... :lovegrin:

shot with K5, 100mm WR... testing a new flash setup
can anyone guess what flash?
this one should give it away... its quite obvious :bsmilie:
Can see its a ring flash from the droplets.
Pentax?:think:

Can't remember already... but no special filters. It was either no filter at all or just a B+W UV filter.

haha... the Master has a good eye for details
its the same one u have.
That means only 2 of such ring flash in SG?:think:
Must compare notes during next macro shoot.
