Elusive House-Fly...

... ever tried panning a house-fly with a macro lens from about 200mm away as it races up a window pane and at the same time trying to keep it in focus and properly framed? I don't recommend it! This was my best attempt - if it had had its wings clipped in real-life, my task would have been easier ;-)

My what a brute and those bug eyes

[Nancy]

Neat detail with a pretty yucky subject.

[Joan Robillard]

I bet you turned off autofocus. I had hard enough time with the seagull I was trying to capture and it was a ways off can't image trying to do this.

[Art By Clover]

Awesome macro!

[Amy J]

Great job Richard, but Eeeeewwww! I love bugs but I'm so not a fly girl...

[Khawbecker]

Wow! I can't imagine how you managed it.

[Fisher Family]

Crikey, what a shot! Wonderful macro - Lucy

[Linda]

Now that sounds very stressful and he looks very menacing! This is an unusual and interesting pov and looks great against that light background.

[Jocasta]

The detail is super amazing - and even more so for a panned fly. Brilliant.

[Cathie]

Amazing shot! Incredible detail.

[☠northy]
