Hoverfly on a passionflower

Hi all,

Took this one in the garden tonight. Light was pretty low so I had to use onboard flash. Manual settings used as follows:

Aperture: F8
Shutter Speed: 1/160
ISO: 1000
Hand held.

HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO

Amazingly clean shot considering the ISO. Think the composition would have been better if you could have got the hover a bit more diagonal.

ISO 1000 or do you mean 100 ?.

Anyway, lovely clear shot, and well focused.Love the look of those wings .

Very nice! Did you "denoise" the shot?

Great shot

In response to AlanB - Yes it really was ISO 1000!
In response to LeoRooster - Yeah I ran it through 'NoiseNinja' with the default settings but to be honest it wasnt that noisy to start with. If I had taken that shot with my G6 it would have been UGLY.
LordV - Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think about putting it on a diagonal. Thats quite a tight crop so I might have a play with it when I get home from work see if i can rotate then recrop to get a better composition.

agreed. the lighting seems not to inpair the picture.
do agree with brian on the composition..

very well exposed pict. the purple in the flower is well rendered.
how did you use the flash..bounce or direct?

Just direct flash, it was the just standard 'on-board' flash. However, I am going to buy a 580 ex this weekend i think This will hopefully help a lot!

Nice shot - good one.
