p.1 #1Damsels through Printing Nikkor 105 and a x1.5 TC
I was unable to get any shots of damsels in my previous sessions with the Printing Nikkor at f11 and a x1.5 TC and flash as in previous session (except diffuser paper removed from fill flash). In spite of gusty winds, yet again, I got some decent shots.These are cropped by up to 50% for composition. There were two individuals.

Thanks. Scrubs up nicely!
I've been mostly doing the right things, but with not quite the right hardware, for so long that I just need to do much the same with my latest to have a decent success rate. Well, that's my theory.
Given a run of good weather, possibly some due on Wednesday (not sure about the wind), I ought to see how the x2 Kiron work swith the Nikkor.

A point of clarification: The FOV was ca 12mm wide and the width of the head of the insect, between the outer edges of the eyes, is ca 4mm.
