The Hover That Got Away
Thanks very much all for the comments on the last post

This Hover Fly was taken with the same set-up as the Wasp a touch of sugar water on the Stamen and with a cable release to catch it as it came in.

Excellent capture, Dale. Looks like the same species of honeysuckle and hoverfly in my image.

taken without sugar water and cable release. :smile: :wink:

Just paid customs' charges for my infra-red triggering device from USA. Asked for delivery next Wednesday. The learning curve will begin then. :eek:

Thanks for sharing your technique Dale.
While I preferred your previous post, once again your timing here is spot on. I find the highlights a little too hot in this version but good work once again.

Cheers,
Chris
