” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

Hi NikonUser

Thank you for the tip.
I am not asking you for the correct name :wink:
I change Drosophila to small Fly.

excellent image, and super clean stack… kudos!
may i ask what flashes you’re using? i’m concerned about losing battery power on deep stacks with my nikon SB900s. are your flashes AC powered?
thanks for sharing!

Hi
Thanks for the kudos :D
I use YONGNUO Speedlite YN560III, each with 4 pieces of 1.5 volt rechargeable batteries.
With 1/128 or 1/64 power, that's enough for over 1000 flashes.
