While not perfect, this one isn't too bad (IMHO) for a handheld with closeup filter attached

Kit lens, +2 closeup filter, some cropping to bring it all in closer...

nice shot...

do you mind sharing the exif info?

That is what I want to do!!! Where do I get the closeup filters and how much? Superb shot.

thanks sheepie

i can now say that the shot is wonderful as it was at 70mm, which is close enough to scare the bee/fly/wasp ... great capture!

Nice shot.
Pretty hard to catch them flying buggers...
Well done.

are those "nik" tags contained in the standard headers?????

Good shot sheepie! That's a B52 bomber coming in there.

Everyone sources the closeup filter kit, I have the brand new Canon 500D from NYC that Onyx brought home with him.

Can we start a "Fly Hunting Club" or called as FHC ? cos summertime is on its way and there's lot of shooting opportunities.

Great shot Sheepie

I had one of these bloody things following me around at work today.
I ended up hitting the thing with my cap to get rid of it

Sorry mate I thought of you as I done it

Cheers
