Mothballs

Had a visitor in the bathroom today. The kids were chasing it away before I decided to take some shots
Loving using flash for macro, espcially for little critters :-), something I have not done before
Great macro

great idea.

Wow! Wireless flash or did you use some method of dispersing the light - it's awfully difficult to get flash to work well when you are close up to a subject

@simon0128 @bobfoto thanks :-)

Incredible macro, well done!

Amazing detail, what a cool looking dude! If you don't mind me asking what kind of flash did you use?
April 5th, 2013  
Read up further, saw that it was on camera flash. I have one but don't understand how to use it properly. You are inspiring me to get it figure out. Wonderufl shot.

So impressive! Great shot with so much detail.

Wow! Is this from National Geographic or what??? LOL
Really, Abhijit, this is stunning. I'm just learning how to use my extension tubes and find it so tricky (calculating how close to get to focus properly, let alone getting too close to a "monster"!!!)
