Graham, what a absolute cracker mate it's fantastic and I love your setup too. How was the kit? I like 1/48 and really want to do a mossie at some stage.
In reply to Steve as well if you don't want to pay out for lighting equipment and prime lenses, why not try using a similar setup to Graham's with a tripod under natural daylight. Your kit will be more than good enough, try and keep your aperture at around f.8 as this will be the sharpest point then adjust your shutter speed and keep your ISO low to keep the exposure balanced and natural. I also shoot in RAW like graham and this does help to capture the most detail although there is a little more work to do in post processing. If you do want to get a prime Nikon do a 50mm 1.8 I believe in a auto for a decent price and it is a great lens I use a sigma 1.4 in a 50mm which is incredible but a bit dearer. You will find that by using a 50mm (or any prime) it will make you work/move for your images whatever you are shooting and this will bring you more satisfying images.

Thanks for that. Very helpful. I will think this thing through after more practice with my present setup. I am a champagne perfectionist with a lemonade income!
