Great catch there. How long did you have to chase that bugger to get him to hold still like that.

Excellent job getting it focused.

Was that on the kit lens?

Well caught yeocsa - I like the fact that there are no distrations in the background. What lens?

I know how difficult it is - last night I spent about half an hour trying to do a macro of a stink bug - difficult position. Later realised it was dead anyway :cry:

I was using D70 + 80-200 f2.8 + TC1.4x + Ext. 25 + 250D Closeup filter.

Hover Fly hovers in mid air. Easy to catch if you go manual focus. The difficulty was in getting the magnification - handheld.

thats beautiful !,

where does one find hover flies??

also is the image a re-size or an enlargement of the original?

EDIT>>just noticed your botanic gardens post, these came from the same location. I agree, u should enter into the AGFA contest!!

Worthy of entrying the Afga comp methinks.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

I took the hover fly outside my home at Box Hill.

Wow, great catch... Sharply focussed, I'd have no hope of getting that!

You macro guys make me jealous ;-)
