Shooting Nearly Blind - _TNY_0786

I found this clay-coloured weevil (Otiorhynchus singularis) on the side of the house around half past nine in the evening. At that time it is pretty dark here at the moment, but at least the poch light provided a little light.

 

I fetched the camera and tried getting a good shot of it, but nailing focus at 3.3:1 magnification in really poor light with a big flash diffuse blocking it as well proved a bit difficult.

 

After a few attempts I managed to get this one with the focus properly on the eyes.
