Fruit Flyby ~killersnowman

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Flowers, Trees & Plants

its a fruit fly in some sort of fruit blossom. i just cant believe that he/she stood still long enough for me to get this shot!

i was using 68mm of extesnion tubes on a 50mm f/2.5 compact macro so the focusing distance was like an inch and a half!!

hope you enjoy!....

Whats the fly equivalent of a carrot on a stick to get it to stay there that long? i think ill just stick to donkeys......

wow. this is the coolst. every time i try taking pictures of incets they always turn out blurry. so im impressed.

~sjohns Feb 16, 2005 Photographer

So cool.. but it still grosses me out a little.. just a bit..

~JudgementOfMan Feb 14, 2005

woah....nice shot

would have been nice to see a bit more of the fly in focus but as you said, focusing distance is an inch and a half! still, kickass capture!!

hOW COULD YOU DO THIS?

!anime-jester Feb 13, 2005

Awesome shot and Kudos for capturing the bugger. This would look awesome in a very sterile white room in a hospital...

One of the best fly shots I have ever seen.

Wow that is very close, 1.5in! I am amazed that he stood still with you that close too.. I am not inclined to comment or even look at such closeups of insects.. kinda creeps me out, honestly. But seeing it this close with such focus is very fascinating at the same time. Very good shot!

I really like the focus of this. And how you caught the kind of movment of the fly.
It's very interesting how you caught it and just really unique!
