Now that spring migration is over, I turn my lens to another of my favorite photographic pursuits, macro photography. I recently picked up a used MT 24 EX and am having some fun practicing with it and my MP-E 65 on Canon 6D.
I must say, I applaud all of you that post here! Macro is, without doubt, the most technically and physically challenging from of photography I've tried.

Here are a few shots I took yesterday around the yard.

I truly cannot tell where one starts and the other begins.

I believe this fly is in one of the Lauxaniidae species.

I apologize if the links are appearing in the post as they are in the preview. I followed a great embedding from Picasa tutorial posted by RPolistsr and may have missed something.

Lovely captures. Think the mating couple are conopid flies.

Thanks everyone (including RPolitsr, who has helped me fix the embedding issue)! and thanks for the ID help on the mating flies, Brian. I'll Google them now:) That's another beauty of macro, learning about your subjects.

Brian v.

After a little research, I believe they are in the Myopinae subfamily of the conopids.
Thanks again, Brian!
