Macro Fly drinking early dew

MarinaN · 04-30-2014, 08:17 AM - **3 Likes**

This is just ordinary fly that has populated all the world.
This fly was drinking water in the morning not paying attention to me so I could make this shot.
Used gx10 and one of my m42 lenses. Guess it was Helios 58mm f2 on a bellows.
Edited in photoshop to up the sharpness and remove noise from iso 400.
Thank you for watching this picture, hope you will like it.

Very beautiful, the fly that drinks, it is necessary to keep the breath to take the macro with a maximum sharpness, for that i nominate this photo... :-)

Nominated! Fantastic timing and good execution of a sharp macro shot. How often does anyone see a fly do anything but annoy them? Nice!

I nominate this photo.

Very impressive sharpness, great light, and the bubble looks wonderful.

I nominate this photo. It is a reminder to be aware and to see! We've become too removed from both the simplicities and the wonders of the natural world going about its daily life around us.

I nominate this photo! Wow! To get the fly perfectly centered is one thing but to capture it with a dew drop.... stunning! You must be extremely patient!

Thank you! Your compliments keep my motivation high!

I am glad that you like it.
I will try harder this summer to capture greater photos.

Spring has come, the insects have awakened and now I have some more interesting macro photos.
If I will pass this tour, I'll show them to you.

Despite the fact I hate flies this is an amazing shot. So colorful and sharp! Nominated!
