Thanks Mark,
It was taken using a Canon 450D and a Tamron 70-300mm lens. It can produce some nice results but holding that lens still enough for macro shots is pretty difficult.

Al.

You don’t need a Macro lens with results like that from your current lens. What equipment were you using?

A sneeze (which is how we noticed it) or shout from the shores of Llyn Syfyddrin produced a really clear and well pronounced echo. Not particularly loud so it wouldn’t be heard on a normal windy day but it was pretty impressive all the same.

Kept us amused for a while anyway.
