The depth of field is just stunning. Each wing blurred and the body sharp. Do you ever use a tripod? I guess time you fluff around with that the fly would be gone. I forget to breath when I’m focusing on an insect or flower. End up feeling like I’m going to keel over.

Thank you very much Niki 🙂 No, I never use as tripod as I don’t really have the patience with them lugging them around and setting them up. I try to brace myself as best I can to get a steady shot, and like you I also forget to breath, lol! A heap of luck thrown into the equation plays its part too 🙂

Super shot! At this time of year the only flies we see are found at the local greasy spoon😊

Thank you, Belinda 🙂 I think the warmer than average December here is bringing them out.
