Been trying to get a shot of this for three days now but the bloody wind spoils the sharpness every time! This is the best I could do.

Well, the best you could do is very good indeed MacRy. Love the colour combination and warm spring-time feel...well done. :)
 
Think I caught it right - these flies don't stay still for long ...

Comments very welcome :)

Cheers :)

Best one so far!

What a fantastic series, but now I'm curious.... Is this how you are getting all these amazing shots?

Thanks, both!

No, I haven't tried hand-feeding them. I have been amazed, however, at how tolerant they have been of me. A few of these have been from a tripod with a remote, and most have been cropped (to varying degrees), but I have generally been able to sit or stand maybe a meter away while shooting and they don't seem bothered in the least, as long as I avoid sudden movements. I do have some new ideas I'd like to try out this weekend, though, if they continue to cooperate.

Hello,
Former member back after a few years, both from MacRumors and from photography. I have been enjoying this thread as well as a few others recently and felt like I should contribute after simply browsing for a while. Below is a shot from a few years ago - I have been going through my photo collection after not having a computer to do so for ~3 years. Sadly sold the body and lens collection used below a while back but recently picked up a 70D and slowly getting back into it, shots to come hopefully.

 
Ladybird - they won't keep still either - comments welcome as always.

Cheers :)

Hugh
