Bluebottle fly on halftone printed paper
True macro photo of a Bluebottle fly (Calliphora vomitoria vicina) on the colour halftone pattern of a paper bag (was actually a barbecue charcoal bag). The halftone dot pattern gives some idea of how shallow the depth of focus becomes at greater than life-size macro ratios.
Taken using a 50mm f/2.8 EL Nikkor reversed on extension tubes. Macro ratio approx. 2.6:1.
