Fly

[nps474]

nps474, you post some amazing macro shots. The colors are incredible. I too would like a little more DOF, but I'm with mamajan, I don't know how you manage to get shots like this of a fly moving all over the place. Most of the time I try to capture a bug I end up with more plant than bug.

What's the secret?

Jeez thanks for such high praise, you know i think its all practice (hopefully my stuff will keep gradually improving) I used to shoot twice as many rolls to get a few pics I liked, I think I'm just getting better at sneaking up on these little guys, you do start to learn little insect habits and stuff (like which ones are likely to return to the same spot ect) but the other little secret i'm learning is to more judicious with the deletion images on the built in screen, over time it's getting easier to see the "keepers" and even easierr to see the ones I need to hit erase on.

Thanks again for the kind words.
