Was out treating my car like a princess and when pouring the water away afterwards I noticed a bug was in the water, dead of course. So I had my first go at bug photography (for idiots!):

Pretty happy with it!

Exif:
Camera: 1Dii
Lens: 90mm macro (stopped down but dunno the exact stop number)
Shutter speed: 1/3
ISO: 100
Exposure bias +1/3

I believe it's a red damsel fly.

Camera: Canon EOS 1D MkII
Lenses: Canon 50mm f/1.8 II, Canon 50mm f/2.5 Macro, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L,

Your post title should win an award :D

It's a great shot so don't let anyone tell you that you should have got the wingtips in the frame, or that it's hyper-saturated, or that the background is boring, or that it's tilted too far to the right. All that matters is that you got Hypno-Fly's eyes in focus... Must... go.. and... lie... down... :shock:

bwahahaha. You should change the story so that it's not dead it's just drunk and instead of a bucket of water it was a glass of beer. You'd totally get away with it because it does look too colorful to be dead. But it certainly leans like a drunk. :D
