On some experienced advice I used the tripod in order to improve the sharpness of my macro's. I spent alot of the day in my parents garden trying to catch a hover fly in flight, unfortunately this is as close as I got to a decent shot.
Any advice on how to increase the depth of field would be helpful (yes I tried reducing the aperture)

Thankyou to Roger for an ID!
Insect are what it;s all about.
Very warm here today for December and hovers and Bumbles are enjoying the flowers in my garden.
I came across an American Kestrel hovering over a farm field while hunting. It was windy enough that he was not moving very much while hovering.
Flight shot - hand held.

Something a little different here. This is a Green Violet-Ear and I have combined a series of 6 frames showing the hummer hovering in place. See the other picture for a bigger size of one of these pictures.
I think you will find it makes a big difference seeing this large on black ("L").
This Raven was bombing around the peak of Whiteface mountain when it suddenly got about as aerodynamically dirty as possible and started to hover in the heavy wind.
OLYMPUS XZ-1 / Flying ( hovering ) Pellucid Hawk Moth "OO-SUKASHI-BA" "大透翅"
It is difficult to photo the insect which is flying in compact digital camera.
This is the photograph focused by chance.
In Japan, they(Pellucid Hawk Moth) are called "OO-SUKASHI-BA". （大-透-翅）
It means "LARGE-TRANSPARENT-WINGS".
A female Rufous Hummingbird hovers and I was able to capture the way it twists its wings while flying.
I have already posted shots of Hover Home on a day that had difficult light. This is a nice shot of the mellow and salubrious day and the estate house. I decided that every time I drove out to McIntosh, I has passed the old Hover Estate, strangely located on Hover Street. While this might seem to be a grand city home, it was nearly 2.5 miles out of most spots within Longmont at the turn of the Twentieth Century. It must have been a country estate but I found nothing so far that says the land was agricultural. The surrounding area had to have agricultural at the time and it was another 2.5 miles out to McIntosh.
The south wing (according to the web site) included: "a hall leading to two bedrooms and Charles Hover’s private office. The large master bedroom features a tiled fireplace and stenciled walls. Currently, during weddings at Hoverhome, the master bedroom is frequently used as the “Groom’s Quarters.” A smaller guest room has a “disappearing closet bed” (Murphy Bed) and was often called the sewing room, since it was where the seamstress would stay on her annual visits to create fashions for Katherine and Beatrice."
The Saint Vrain Historical Society describes the house as, "...elegant, English Tudor, Gothic Revival home of Charles and Katherine Hover, was constructed in 1913-1914. Designed by the Denver architectural firm of Roeschlaub & Roeschlaub, the 6000 square foot house was built according to 56 pages of detailed specifications calling for “all materials and workmanship to be of the finest quality throughout.”
During the 70 years the Hovers and their adopted daughter Beatrice resided at Hoverhome, the property was carefully maintained and remains in excellent condition. Reflecting Jacobethan detailing, parapetted stone roof gables rise above the steep-pitched roof and Tudor arches grace the entry porch and front door.
"The distinctive home was constructed at a cost of approximately $25,000. A local newspaper reporting its completion in June 1914, described it as “modern in every particular, including electric lights and heat and conveniences and comforts found only in a large city.”
I realized that there are other landmarks in the town that I could shoot.
