Golden Fly Blowing Bubbles

Great looking fly Alastair, I agree they're good shots.

Excellent shots What an ugly fly

Are you guys actually really close to these bugs or do you use a really strong zoom?

A great, great shot....you are too hard on yourself..I would be proud of those...steve

Pretty close. Usually within a foot. That's how you get a life-size image.

Good shots , excellent detail

bubble detail is superb, smart black fly too - any ID?

Excellent shots Alistair. I especially like #2.

Was that intentional or did you only notice on the monitor...?

It was intentional Bernie..I noticed it sitting there blowing a bubble and through the lens i could see its tounge detail in the bubble. Thanks for the comment, appreciated

Thanks RM appreciate the comment..I havent had time to look for an ID yet.but will tonight and see what i can find.

Amazing shots, especially #2. How do you all get them so sharp, mine always seem that wee bit soft
