Fly Portrait

This was taken last week the same time and place as the buzzy bee shot, this little fella actually really liked being photographed, I think it was because I was that close he could see hiself in the front of my lens

Re: Fly Portrait

Wow Ash, that's incredible.

Look at the detail you've captured, esp. the eyes. How did you do it?

Re: Fly Portrait

Well, thank you very much for your comments, I never expect comments like this but when you get them it makes me very happy and even more determined to do better, I no the same as when you get bad comments, I no Im wierd

I no that sounds daft but I have seen alot better insect shots on the internet, sharper and closer maybe.

In reply to Gina, well it was my 150mm sigma macro lens on a d2x rested on a fence, which allowed the slow shutter which allowed the f11, which as you can see, still only gave me a narrow dof due to the focal length.
Nice makeover Gina, your old shot always made me feel like I was in detention!
Thanks
Ash.
