Any chance of the EXIF? You have removed it on Flickr.

+1 - great set - lovely colour

Wow

I just looked at the last page of images and they we all great, it's a good job I haven't been looking here lately - else I might feel bad for selling my Macro (especially now the flowers and plants have grown back with a vengeance at work!)

Was thinking about some tubes, to do a bit of 'Macro' - I took a couple today, just 'close up' well as close as I can get with an 85mm and about a 3 foot MFD

Oh I had this as well, I wasn't going to post it - because I dislike the composition. However I still enjoy the capture of a flying 'bee' thing

I believe so

I think there are flies which look like bees, this might be one...

KyleS1 · 10-08-2012, 11:25 AM

Looks like a hover fly.

shotokan101 · 10-08-2012, 11:38 AM

Composition is fine for me Dan...

KyleS1 · 10-08-2012, 11:51 AM

Quick one from me last night.

Yes, it just droned at me

They don't hover either, it actually looked like it was flying into the other fly repeatedly..

KyleS1 · 10-08-2012, 11:59 AM

Pulling technique?

nice stuff - lovely colour on that orchid shot too Kyle - but shouldn't that be "Fly Humping" Dan ?

jomike · 10-08-2012, 2:46 PM

I got this hoverfly feeding on a fennel blossom.

Dancook · 10-08-2012, 6:58 PM

Very nice Hawk-Eye.. like the background colour against the green. Good sharpness and detail.
