For obvious reasons I will need to make some changes to my weekly project this year and will have to concentrate on images from around my house and garden.
The 1st quarter images are here
2020 Project 52 by Geoff F - 1st Quarter
Week 14 - Garden Insects. I have been taking a camera with me while doing various maintenance tasks in the garden.
Bee Fly. These flit between flowers and hover with legs just touching the flowers so they are difficult to follow and get a shot before they move to another flower.

Hoverfly - Melanostoma scalare female.

Merge of two focus points. There was a reflection problem from the bright sunshine so I created a bit of shadow with my body and adjusted the flash output to give a reduced flash.
