For some reason, it isn't many bugs in my backyard lately.......I think my gardener did a great job on the insecticide :lol: :rolleyes: Anyway, here is a fly that I captured yesterday with a relatively large aperture as an experimental shot.......and it comes out pretty good.......IMHO. Any CC are welcome ;)

This was taken with 5D + 180L + 1.4x TC + MT-24EX:

Nice one. The background has a good soft blur to it.

Thats a pretty nice shot, but to answer your question.

No it wasnt looking at you it was looking at its parents behind you sticking out their tongues so as to get the attention of their lil fly son.

I'd ban your gardener :) - haven't used insectacide for years (don't need to now the bugs just eat or parasitise each other).
Lovely shot Adrian.
