Hover Fly
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:00 pmHover Fly is about half the size of a normal bee so this pic is about a 50 percent crop...
too wierd...
2 "native bee" threads by 2 different people...

Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 8:00 amNice shot, Shane.
I'd like to see the fly a little larger but give its tiny size I can appreciate the difficulty. Does the lens go to 1:1? Can you get extension tubes? They might be worth trying.
I'd also like to see the shot a little lighter to bring out some of the detail in the fly.
