Flies, flies, and more flies
While most flies tend to be extremely annoying, they are a boon for us macro photographers. The reason is they are simply everywhere. It is not difficult to find a fly, and on some days when it seems I can’t find anything, there’s always a fly there to help. Of course, with some flies it can be tricky to get close enough to get a shot – especially when you go above 1x. This is even trickier when the fly is on a leaf and you need to make sure not to bump anything. For the majority of flies I try to photograph I never get a shot or if I get a shot then it’s not clear. Some flies only allow me to take a single shot – then they take off.
During a recent outing in the ponds next to my work, I found several flies and managed to successfully photography them. This is the first one I found.
