6th May Hoverfly

I have uploaded this to my extras Album. This is a work in progress. There were a few hoverflies in the garden but they never settled. I spent ages trying to get a shot of one flying/hovering and this was the best I could get - It was very frustrating trying to get them in focus as they move suddenly and randomly!! I know that as the flowers open in the garden they will start to settle and I will get a much better shot I am sure. Watch this space!!

Great shot, Pam

[Kevin McKay]

Great effort here. Well worth trying this again because to get one sharply in focus would be a total winner. Load up another memory card and go for it :)

They just don't keep still long enough for me either. This is vary good.

I think you did fantastically well to get this shot, I tried yesterday using my 70-200 and it didn't come out nearly as good as this......respect!

@jo13 Thank you so much Jo - that means a lot!!

Very nicely done, I don't know how you even kept him in the view finder - so I am most impressed.
