Description

A little image of some ordinary insects to say "Hello" ! ;-) I really wish I'd have more time to be as active here in the galleries as I would like to be ... Made this capture very early in the morning before sunrise. (I had also made a pic with the spider silk cloned away but I thought this one looks more authentic/natural.) Some Exif and info: Sigma 150mm/F2.8 Macro, ISO 100, 1/3 sec, F13, aperture priority, spot metering, manual focus, tripod, Novoflex focusing rail, mirror lock-up, cable remote-control release, ... Thanks for looking ! ;-) And thank you for your comments on my previous image "Kitesurfing" !

Oh ja, ein sehr gelungenes Comback. Brilliante Schärfe und guter Bildaufbau. Ich hätte auch gerne das Sigma 150mm leider gibt's das nicht für Pentax ;-). Hätte nicht gedacht, dass die Fliegen bei dieser Auslösezeit so stillhalten :D.

Normally when I see a picture of fly sex I just go "huh huh fly sex" but this is so vivid and airy and beautiful it has stilled my Butthead laugh. You've made two hairy, gas-mask faced flies that are probably very annoying when trying to steal your sandwich absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for this tiny snippet of fly life. The swimmy colors in the background add so much to the composition so thanks also for not cropping them out. Cheers.

I dream of getting a shot this clean and sharp. I like everything about it, including the flies, lol. The full size view is just as sharp as this one. Excellent capture. I add it to Favorite list as a personal inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Lee

Schön, mal wieder ein Foto von dir zu sehen! Und dann noch so einen Kracher! :) Die natürlichen Farben gefallen mir hier sehr - scheint, ich müsste mich auch mal so früh zur "blauen Stunden" auf den Weg machen. ;) Die Belichtung der Kleinen finde ich zudem sehr gelungen, kaum störende Schatten - Respekt! Naja und die Details und die Schärfe sind hier ja sowieso top! Auch die Bildaufteilung mit dem Grashelm links finde ich sehr gut gewählt. Zuletzt frage ich mich nur, was das für ein weißer Streifen oben rechts im Foto ist? Bitte mehr davon! :)
