1st Large Red Damselfly of the year

i actually managed to shoot macro today at last , went to bodnant gardens in north wales ,

loads to shoot , but i will post this 3 frame stack of large red damsel , a month earlier than last year! mpe -65 at x3 mag.

had a lot of trouble with camera/flash. flash gun is registering by camera and firing full power only, in av mode camera not recognising ettl . not setting synq speed and is over exposing everything. had to shoot full manual, think off cam lead my have a connection problem :scratch
