Lazy by grammyn

Lazy

While I was shopping today I left the door open so the dogs could go in and out and didn't think I had to worry about the screen being open too. I was wrong. After supper tonight I noticed this fly and he was being just lazy enough for me to get my camera and take a few shots He didn't hold still enough to prevent a little blur though.
You did not say that you were at least six foot away. Good shot.

She came out of the cold....lots of details...a bit of green on the wing.

@bruni It was warmer outside than inside, Bruni. We had 70F today!

Nice catch there! I think that I would have killed it first and then said, "Oh I just ruined a photo op!" lol

@grammyn Oh..where abouts are you..
January 25th, 2012  
Gives me the heebee geebees! It looks enormous!!!!

A little blur but still a great closeup! One reason I like the cold...no bugs!

Fabulous close-up! He looks so furry and his wings look all "veiny!" Great details... :)

Great close up and detail.

@karenann LOL! Thanks, KarenAnn. If I hadn't needed one more shot for the day he might have been out the door!

@jennwearing He was a little on the fat side. Probably about 5/8 of an inch long.

@debsphotos Thanks, Debbie. It was the least blurry of the 10 or so that I took. I didn't set up the tripod because I was afraid he would fly away so I had to do the best I could with unsteady hands! ;~}
January 25th, 2012  
Cool!

@marilyn Thanks, sissy! Aside from the blur I was pleased. I had a front shot where you could see his proboscis better except for the blur so I went with this one.

@darsphotos It was a little tricky and I really should have used a tripod but didn't have the time to set it up without losing the shot entirely. Thanks, Darlene.

@trumpetman Thanks! You like it because it is a bug, don't you Mike?! ;~}

@debsphotos I keep forgetting to thank you for starting that thread the other day! My morning routine is so much faster now that I don't have to keep scrolling over and over again through all the posts I missed overnight. I love you Debbie Orlando!!!

Some bugs are fun!
January 25th, 2012  
@trumpetman I have to agree. I have done several in my project but this is the most commonplace one!
January 25th, 2012  
Some really good detail in that shot.

Welcome to my parlor said the photographer to the fly. If you let me shoot you, I promise you won't die.
January 25th, 2012  
Great shot! It reminds me of the movie "The Fly", and it gives me the creeps. Fantastic shot!
January 25th, 2012  
@grammyn -- Why thanks! Glad to help. Yes, going thru photos is much easier now. :-) Love ya back!

@hankinsphoto Thanks, Steve. I appreciate it very much.
January 26th, 2012  
@otdafot LOL! That is exactly what happened too!
January 26th, 2012  
@jennabug Thanks. IT was a pretty big fly to start with and the new camera did the rest!

No matter if it's slightly blurry or not, catching a fly is an amazing thing..

@chasingwishes Thanks, Stacey. No blur is a goal. ;~}
