David, with shots like those above, How close do you have to actually get?? and how much of it is down to a good zoom??

 

They look like you are inches away, So im guessing youd have to be quite close before the zoom comes into play

[David Humphries]

cms away liam, no zoom. Just set on to macro.

 

being that close to a stink horn in full flied up frenzy, aint such a nice place to be though
