Big Mosquito

Got up very early as I need to go to the airport today and collect Jim. He's coming from Scotland after a month at his place and he's bringing a few things I bought on Amazon.UK (to avoid postage costs). 
Another flash, an articulated  bracket to hold the two flashes, remote triggers and receivers to fire the flashes outside of the camera, etc... all to photograph a bug....

a setup more or less like this

So far I am just shooting with a frontal flash and that's not very good. Produces many hard shadows, and the light blows in the insect carapaces... 

I'm very excited and anxious to know how will I hold and operate like 6 pounds of equipment in my hands laid on the grass or peeping in the shrubs...   :)

Tomorrow I will post the new gear....
