Common Red Flash

[Commander]

A shot of the upperside of a female Common Red Flash for reference. Sunny's got truckloads of the male's upperside shots already. A bit worn out though... ;P

Did you shoot this with D3 or 1D3? (you love 3 a lot huh?)

I see some dust spots liao, hopt it is not from the D3. ;P

[Commander]

This one's taken with the D3.

Got additional dust bunnies that came with the new cam mah... more value for money. :bsmile:

Thanks for sharing, have not seen a red flash before. I think this upper wing shot is really sharp. Can never get sufficient DOF to cover the whole wing. Any tips on that?

Cheers!

Wow nice and sharp!

Bene, just watch ur angle and for open wing shots, try to set a smaller aperture, like ard F/8 onwards, and you'll get it sharp enough. For urself with a 1.6 crop factor, it could be easier with more DOF at the expense of a less creamy bokeh. I shot the exact same fellow at F/10 IIRC posted a few weeks back :)
