Blowfly

We are not allowed to travel to some more exotic places at the moment thanks to Covid-19 lockdown. So, I thought I have a go at photographing a fly in my backyard! Inspired by Stanley Sutton's excellent macro photography. I don't have a macro lens so I used my 100-400mm and focused as close as possible which is just 1m. Not too shabby I suppose but no match for a macro lens of course. But I will keep practicing!

 

Update 31-March: It seems that this fly's left eye is flat. It must have flown into something hard!
