horsefly

Hi Christopher, I see in the technical details that you shot this with a 100mm (macro lens?) focal length at f3, 1/160sec and iso 100. At close distances depth of focus is already extremely shallow, so most of the time you'd want to maximize it by using a narrower aperture and higher iso, for example in this case you could have shot at approximately the same shutter speed with iso 800 and f9 or so, resulting in a noticeably larger sharp area of the fly's wings & back. BTW this is technically not a horsefly but a blowfly known as the common greenbottle. Cheers - Paul
