Re: Backyard wildlife
That's an awesome visitor, Gerrie! 
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Backyard wildlife
I am from Amanzimtoti, KZN.
How do I update my own profile to show detailed location ?
Any-one out there to guide me ?

Re: Backyard wildlife
Some of the "critters" in my neck of the woods:
At least on this topic I don't have to struggle to identify them!
Mayfly on my front door (rotated it to appear horizontally)
These spiders have rotating eyeballs that are green or black or any combination thereof. ( REALLY Cool dudes.)
As the joke goes - MOSQUITOS, Florida's State Bird - (male)
Female Regal Jumping Spider. Don't know if I uploaded one of the male previously (will check), but he is black with iridescent green thingys (palps?
)Will cover birds, etc. later. Just needed a break from all the scientific gobbledy-GEEK of the Invertebrates thread

Re: Backyard wildlife
What an amazing beast to have in your back yard 100ponder!
Outstanding pics as always ExF
What settings do you use? You seem to get much bigger DOF than I do!

Grr-rr got the whole thing typed and then the SQL or whatever error 
100ponder (=Gerrie 
), great critter-friend to have in your yard! We have iguanas, but they are considered undesirables, as they are an invasive, "exotic" species.
BluTuna, I shoot Manual mode, RAW format, starting at 1/250 @ f 14.0 w/ Twin Lites at 1:1 and ISO 100, usually having to lower the light to 1:2 or even less. I adjust from there if using extension tubes , maybe up the ISO, lower the f-stop, etc., generally using f 10 - 16.
Please don't ask me a really technical question, or you'll baffle me completely. 
Here's one of my favorite birdie pics from our wetland wonderland:
Cormorant
Was wanting to post our woodpecker species, but need to dig deeper for photos.
Bye bye for now.
