Hi all,
I was out walking last weekend, and came across these fellas.

All taken with the Tamron SP90 AF macro and diffused 380EX flash.
I hope you like them.

Great shots Noel. Lovely colour and detail.

Actually, I'd mentioned in another thread on a different forum that there appear to be a massive increase in numbers of the Helophilus Hoverflies (the ones in your photos). I'm seeing these in huge volumes as opposed to marmalade hovers and other species. Drone flies appear to have had a large boost too.

Thanks again,
The blown yellows are due to the fact I was walking away and realised i hadn't diffused the flash! (Rookie mistake)
