Thank you Francesco and Bartek!

 

Bartek - the fly was standing on the grass, so I hold the camera very close to the ground and shoot upwards. The almost white background is overexposure of the cyan sky.

 

Thanks again, allon.

looks too perfect. Did you hypnotize the fly before asking it to pose for the photo. Without hypnosis, how do you enduce the fly to stay still for long enough to focus and take the photo?

 

Also, I have the same lens, ef50mm and can no way get this close to a fly?

 

Just very curious, so please respond here. Many thanks.

 

Either way, 7/7 from me

Thank you: Tuhin, Pnina, Rashid, Fabian and John!

 

Fabian - when you go to shot flies, you must take with you, beside the camera, some anti-frustration pills:)

 

Thank you all, allon.

Another tip: Have fun and use a stop watch to see how long the fly will hold still. But only time flies when you're having fun.

Thank you: Pedro, Igor, Biliana, Tony, Arif, Juan, Hanna, John, Tim, Angel Luis, Wojtek, Angus, Kyle! It really makes me happy to know you like it!!

 

Juan - special thanks for the warm words!

 

Tim - I like your tip!! :)

 

Angus - you can add a 50 mm lens in a reverse position to the G2 very easily. all you need is a lens adapter and a few rings. you can see how it looks in the attached file.

 

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN! allon.
