flies and a damaged beetle

[chemicalbro]

a few shots from this morning........ i used some extensions on the fly shots ..... the beetle and droplet was with a 2x tcon..... I used a ringflash on all the shots

a fly enjoying it's breakfast, yellow flowers are a nightmare to expose :)

Great series. I really like the fly shots. The yellow flower alon is not difficult. What makes it difficult is the presence of a darker color fly ;) You did a great job on the exposures already.
