Was out with Dave and John today, having a go with macro insect photography and I am enjoying it, at least it has made me pick up the camera again and feeling motivated to shoot!
Thanks for the tips guys, this stuff is quite addictive!
i did something cold today, litererally cold. i froze this hover fly and took this shot of it. it later defroze and started flying again.

While shooting a thistle shot, this little fella started buzzing around so I turned my attentions (and lens) on her (according to "afterforty").

Playing around with Macro at lunch. The flowers at Belfast's Botanic Gardens were buzzing with Hover Flies. I just had to wait for one to settle on the flower I had in focus.
The title Hover Sunday doesn't quite roll off the tongue as nicely as Fence Friday , but it does describe the creatures in today's series. This female Ruby Throated Hummingbird and Clearwing Hummingbird moth were both seen in my garden in Aug 2015.
In our 4.5 days at Bosque del Apache in New Mexico, we actually saw a number of birds of prey, though mostly they eluded me. In fact, I was working on flying cranes when I saw this sweetheart hovering, so I turned around and relocated for a couple frames before she moved on.
Took this hand held with Fuji XE-2, Fuji 55-200mm and Raynox DCR250. Natural light. Reduced noise with Nik tools define.

After 12 hours of work today, you'd think I'd come home and, oh, maybe rest, relax, nap... No, I parked the car in the garage, grabbed by camera and macro lens and proceeded to walk, crawl, lay all over my landscape for the next 2 hours capturing bugs, flowers, and beauty-- finishing with over 1,000 handheld captures :))
Since I've just started with these bugs and little creatures, I can't identify them very well, really. I believe this is a Hover Fly...
Shot close to the North side fence at Wattisham, this 3 regiment crew were in the hover for some time, slowly landing on the grass behind the mocked up revetment.
Toxomerus marginatus, as determined by the margin of yellow around the edge of the abdomen. :-) Glad I finally learned that! The other option here in the east, sans margin, is T. geminatus.
Happy Fly Day Friday!
