The mono pod I'm using has play to the bottom extension so I Adjust it above the subject that I shoot and push it down to the shooting level. Other times I lay it at an angle and it helps me stabilize more.

The speed will come with practice Pat, took me a while to get the hang of it.



I dont have a monopod, but will get one at some stage.
​How do you go when shooting things at different heights, do you adjust the height between shots, or just lay it down at an angle to suit each shot ?

More stinkin' flies.......

These were taken with the Nikon 105VR, fitted with a copy of Scott's foam diffuser for the onboard flash.

Excellent photos. I guess the diffuser is helping a little bit...

I am out at work but brought my camera, unfortunately I don't have a laptop with me so here is a photo of the screen on my D800e lol
I have another week of snapping some photos after work and look forward to posting them when I am back home.

Yes, the diffuser makes quite a difference. Looks rough, but works good.

Looking forward to seeing your latest photos when you get back to civilisation. :)

Some great shots on here! My wife went to sit on an old lawn chair and saw this feller before sitting down. So I asked her to let me try to get some shots before she shared the chair with it. I played with f/stops and the onboard flash for a few minutes and came up with these.
