Andy Edwards Posts: 1900 Joined: 14th Mar 2008 Location: UK | Posted at 22:00 on 1st September 2008 Cheers. I've just got a new filter for the camera (which has built-in macro) and it allows me to get really close in. I'm amazed at how many insects there are around if you stop and look...usually I'm looking up the trees for birds, but while there's plenty of leaves in the trees I've decided to concentrate on the wee animals. It's great fun! |
