 Manual 105/2.8 Micro Nikkor, Hand held, existing light. It's about 1/2 of the original. I saw the fly and focused on a spot and waited for it to go there.

The timing on this is amazing. The green background really makes that bugger stand out.

excellent & difficult waddy .. and they move so fast .. i've got a few on manual focus and followed them, like panning with the camera .. its very hit and miss with this sort of thing and in the camera you think you've got a keeper and then when you get it on the computer you realise that the focus is on his legs rather than his eyes and its into the recycle bin it goes .. you must be very very very patient to wait till one goes in the exact spot .. :)
i was very happy when i got some a couple of months back .. this one and this one .. they've both been heavily photoshopped like combining of more than one photograph but the second one has the originals in the photographer's comments and camera settings .. they were amazing little bugs .. so incredibly small .. havent succeeded in doing it again .. the fact that i was sitting down with the camera resting on my legs helped a lot .. i couldnt stand holding my camera unsupported for that length of time .. :)

I kinda like this one! It gives a good impression of being out in the garden. Love the wing movement. This concept has tremendous potential!

Isn't it amazing that even with 1/500 shutter speed there is still motion blur of the wings? They must be moving really fast!
