Beautiful insect as well as beautiful photo of it, Gerry. Was it hand held? And what sort of ex. tubes did you use? Once January is over you feel that there’s a light at the end of the winter tunnel. James

Thanks James, yes hand held. They were only cheap ones off Ebay made by FOTGA., a 10mm and 16mm and both together 26mm. They have the electrical connections, so AF works.

Excellent stuff Gerry.
I got them very same Ex tubes in my xmas stocking. And have got the 100-300, so looking forward to Spring/Summer.
Sayin that, i can always have a dabble at some snowflake macros ect, in the meantime. If we actually get any proper snow that is.
Looking forward to the joys of spring and summer – especially beauties like this!
Thanks Maria.

Thanks Julia, we shouldn’t wish our lives away, but.
Another Gerry special – keep them coming… Can’t wait for thewarmer weather and longer days and hopefully no rain and grey clouds!
Thanks Suzie, yes longer days and lots of sun.
Lovely shot Gerry, like you can’t wait to see them again!
Thanks Janet, won’t be long.
Excellent work. Fantastic colours on that little fella. Great detail as well.
Thanks very much Tim.
Excellent photo Gerry, could tempt me into buying some extension tubes myself.!
Thanks Steve, a cheap and worthwhile addition to your kit.

Thanks Mike, the tubes are a very useful bit of kit if you like close ups.
