Macro A fly and a flower

A fly and a flower · 07:41 PM

Couple of more macros. Maybe I should get a wide angle lens and try something different............

Nice complementary shapes between the fly and the flower.

beautiful macros. how did you get so close to the fly?

Stoogie · 10-10-2012, 01:50 PM

Great shots, keep up the good macro work! Do you use extension tubes with your 50mm?

Thanks everyone for the comments. Yes, I used tubes with the 50, actually I have two tele-converters with the glass removed that I use for tubes. The fly is a hover fly, and they are very approachable. They do not spook easily which makes them good macro subjects.

Here's one a little closer of the hover fly.
