Engine failure
Having done at least 500 noisy laps around my living room on Wednesday, this pesky house fly suddenly experienced catastrophic engine failure, and plummeted to the carpet! Having been quite irritated by its constant buzzing earlier, I now felt a bit sorry for it, so picked it up and placed it on the table. It was quite lethargic and stayed put for this long exposure (1.3 seconds!), before I popped it in a safe place outside.
I took this image with my MP-E 65mm lens, at around 1x magnification, f/14. It's only had a slight crop.
