Flash!

I've made more of an effort to do some macro photography of late, utilising an old 2x teleconverter (circa 1998!) and my flashgun (mounted off camera and diffused). The teleconverter allows up to around 2x magnification in macro terms, the flash helps with better shutter speeds and smaller apertures.

Annoyingly while doing this I have noticed that my camera's sensor is really dusty, to the extent I'm removing 20-30 specs in post processing.... rather tedious. Unfortunately it means sending to someone to get it cleaned professional which  = ££££

In any case, some recent favourites
