Welcome to the forum Geoff. Paul.

Indeed Fogey. They are known to inhabit soil, leaves, as well as intertidal rocks. They can be easily recognized by their elongated, snout-like gnathosoma pedipalps. They impale their prey with the snout and eat it, often this being the only time they tend not to move! Paul.

Thanks John. Paul.

My snout mite made another appearance tonight. All these were taken at 2:1 full manual mode on the Venus 60mm, with flash set at EV1/128, ISO 100. It's a small mite, 1.5mm maybe, and they do like to be on the move most of the time. Images #5, #6, and #7 were 3 burst shots where the snout twitched to the side... Paul.

Nice find m8, I got 3 or 4 shots the other day too but had the camera setting on the wrong ISO and they weren't much cop.. Paul.

Great stuff Geoff, must have been very enjoyable. Question - why did the station master (?) stand in the track near the end of the video? Paul.

Yes, all manual Geoff, and just as hard, maybe even harder to use.... Paul. -

I usually would use a tripod, main reason being these lenses have no stabilisers built in and I struggle to hand hold. The tripod also means with care and a slow approach I can line up my subject precisely, focusing on eyes. Of course, hand holding has to be done sometimes, it's just harder for me a lot of the time.
