Description

Well I was out looking for things to photo. I was walking up the back steps and saw this guy on the railing on the porch. So I wanted to try to get a close side shot that had a nice DOF, so I made sure to have the fstop up enough. Of course this ment that the flash would have to do most of the work,but alas is the life of macro photography,lol. This fly,well I am not exactly sure what type of fly it is really. I cant find a match in any of my books,but feel strongly that its a form of a tachnid fly. Well at least I think it is,lol. Hope you enjoy. Canon EOS 20D 100mm F/2.8 USM Macro 1/100 second F/13.0 ISO 100
