Moonman I love all your photos, even though this is the first time I've replied and given feedback I still check every few days and occasionly see yours. The color is so perfect, the sharpness is great, and the overall quality is very nice. One thing I love in them is certain shots where the aperture is low enough to give the lights in the backgrounds as spots of color. Looks like (after seeing your signature) you have some top gear which is worth a lot!. @crazzy88ss Thanks!

Here are some nature ones I took a few weeks back:

Great photos and great use of fast shutter.

Thanks everyone, the lens I use is a Tamron 90mm Macro with a set of kenko extension tubes (Kenko 12, 20 and 36mm extension tubes). To get the natural look in the photo of the fly, I had to bump the ISO up high, use a shutter of around 1/160th with a F/4. Flash was used to get a little more light so I turned the power on the Canon Speedlite 430EX II down to -3. @moonman, can you link me to your flickr :)

This is the minimum focal length with the Extension tubes

Is it alive? If not, how do you get them to stay still and put them where you want?

Yep they are still alive. Basically seeing as it is summer here in Australia we have heaps of flies outside which are annoying as hell. I just creep up to them and some stay still for a long time

Click the picture above to a link to the CBC story that used my picture :) Yay! I didn't get a penny though, I took the picture more to show my coworkers why I was going to work from home today and then decided what the heck, submit it to the news. Not very good composition :p

    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
    • I disagree that using browser based password managers is a bad idea, your passwords are encrypted by the OS password, but they also be synchronized to make them helpful. I would also use a password manager extension that supports MFA TOTP and Passkeys to manage the account that synchronizes the data. Ente is 100% free and allows you to vault important information, has password vault support, and supports 2FA TOTP support, I just don’t believe, it has a browser extension.
