The Fly
This fly shot was taken last year sometime, this is one from the archives whilst out having a dabble at macro shots.

Season is now upon us as I have just re-released a honey bee from the kitchen at work, it found the sugar by the kettle lol

Thanks for looking :toast:

D2X - Sigma 105 macro
ISO 200, F5.6, 1/125th sec
(Handheld)

Nice shot - the background colours really work to bring out the iridescence of the fly. :toast:

Very nice.

That's a great BG and makes the fly stand out so well. Love the colours too. :toast:

A beauty. The DOF is surprising for a 105mm @ F5.6.
