Thats a rediculous picture! Do you just have the one camera? What is it and the lense - I presume its a digital SLR is it? For a newbie/wannabe photographer, what would you recommend?

Damselfly - canon 60mm..Im pleased with this shot and i dont say That often..took today in the full miday sun,i had to work really hard,,if i remember right fec was on - 2,yep..a hold 2 stops under exposed..as well as that i had Exposure Bias Value on -1EV.. so all in all this shot was 3 stops under exposed.the things u got to do to get a perfect image.well worth the 5mins it took me to set the shots up.i was just lucky that the damselfly was chilled out.it would fly off every few seconds but come back to the same leaf..u wouldn't think it but little things like the cloths u where when your out shooting insects matters alot..u need dull colours..i like to wear grey tops.if u have bright colours on its going to be harder to get closer to the insect..its all about stalking if u can stalk your have where there
