Flies are often rather attractive viewed close up, and this one certainly is. But definitely better in a pic than buzzing round my head![]()
That's a super sharp shot of a quite beautiful creature Richard. Bottom right quadrant is a bit bright perhaps but............... Nice image.
Well done![]()
The second shot looks pretty sharp to me. Good images. What focal length were you using at two metres?

Shiny insects are very difficult to photograph; so well done on the exposure.
One big, beautiful, colourful fly. The execution of the image is technically brilliant, I cannot fault it and a joy to look at.
Both were at 420mm. The first was 1/320sec F9 ISO 800 and the second 1/30sec F9 ISO 200. I used the smallest aperture I could to try to get better DOF. If I'd had my tripod with me I would have tried focus stacking with F5.6 - as wide as I can go with that lens.

Nice shots RichardBetter light and colors in the second one.
