Very nice work David especially the first I am guessing there have been developments in your set up and it seems to be working well.

No I have the same water set up as earlier in the year. The camera is the same although the flash is tricky.

The main thing with these photos is cloning out debris in the water.

Very nice David, TBH I too thought something had changed as these images seem more defined.

Thanks well the flash head holders has broken so they are slighter farther apart - also practice. This is I think the most time consuming type of macro photography but the subjects are really interesting.
What I find weird is that I easily see may fly nymphs but very rarely the adults.

It is a bit tricky - making the set up was the hardest thing. Sadly it is not for sale on Amazon.
The first time I tried I cut myself, I need to write an article about this for an insect magazine.

Mayflys being nocturnal and living just few hours is most likely...

Great set Dave.
