I had to go back and do a better job...

The first beetle I took was without a flash, after watching a youtube video and the guy was using a flash to allow a better depth of field I had to try try it

flash and better depth of field? I thought flash flattens every thing.

From what I understand it allows you to use a faster shutterspeed to stop blur and also narrow depth of field. I can see more of the beetle in focus with this shoot than my first one which was without a flash

I used F/11 in this shot and the first one was F/2.8

The problem I have with them is the refection. I would like to under expose a little bit.
