Syrphid Fly In Flight

Cool! And great job nailing the focus on the head

of a flying bee, too.

Some tell me it is a bee, and some a fly. I thought it was a bee, but

I am not sure now.

 

I intended to close down the aperture to get more depth, and had the

bee/fly lighted only with the flash. Unfortunately, it all happened

so fast and had the lens wide opened

It is indeed a fly. To be more specific it is a syrphid fly (family syrphidae). This family typically looks like a bee or wasp. Nice job nailing the eyes in focus. A little more depth of field would have been nice but overall a really nice job on a tough shot.

Good job nailing the focus. Cool shot.

The motion captured in the wings in this image make me feel as if i can hear the fly buzz. Excellent job capturing the movement of the fly in flight while maintaining clear and focused eyes.

W o W. How the heck do you capture an image like that?

good catch, nice movement

very good tecnic shot,like the other of the folder

I like to shot insect without ligth electronical

in natural way.YOUR SHOT ARE WONDERFULL!!!!

Amazing. I love the colour of it's eyes, great shot and well done for getting such a tricky subject in sharp focus.

Wow, very good! How did you do this? Was it hovering so that you had at least some time to focus on it? Unusual shot!

bzzzzzzzz excellent shot!

 

 

an incredibly difficult capture... really incredible!

Shame on you three who gave this picture a two in rating on a seven step scale!!
