Yes
Todays set is brought to you by a lot of sweat and approximately 3000 nettle stings. Note to self - cropped trousers are a terrible idea when macro togging.

All shot with my Nikon D7000 and Tamron 90mm. Natural light or onboard flash - need to stop being lazy and sort out an off camera flash set up. Anyway - C&C and helpwith ID's always welcome.

Thanks for looking :)
 
That onboard flash is doing you no good at all.
1st 2 are a tad harsh with onboard flash (I assume) you could lower the blacks to help compensate this.
Last shot is the best imo, Its a mint moth btw.

Thanks Graham - although the first was without flash and the moth was with flash so perhaps it is me rather than the flash itself!
