... Bet you that you wish it was summer again and I was buzzing and annoying you again and all dark and cold, and snowy here in winter ;)

1.5 times macro using extension tube with a macro lens. No cropping done. As shot.

Not as focused on all the drops as I would have liked but this is the first time ive seen a fly with this many drops, like jewels!

Captured with the CPL filter on the macro lens.

Decreased the aperture some so that I could more of the eyes in focus on this cloudy rainy day ... so the ISO went up and the shutter speed came down some.

Hand held macro.

Interesting just what this large fly with the bee body colors really is.

No, the Saxons are modern:). Dresden also has an airport. The balloon flight was apparently a leisure pleasure.
