Debated on posting this, but what the heck. Steve challenged me to use the MP-E to get some video (well different kind of fly) and it's a start.
I actually lost my light in the last clip and forgot to re-setup my exposure :( I tried to push it in post ... lighting will be the difficult challenge.
I can't remember the exact mag ... but I could fit the whole flower in at 1:1 if that give you any idea.
Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon)
Esquimalt Lagoon, Colwood, BC
This kingfisher hovered over the water, but apparently didn't find a suitable fish; after several seconds of searching it gave up and flew away.
Those School Girl Days Of Telling Tales -
The eraser on top a pencil is most forgiving, it deletes mistakes that people made. The sharp tip on the other end is fearsome because it can materialize thoughts into words that cut. Click-clack! Click-clack! I looked over my shoulder, a wasp with lavender-tinted wings was thrusting his rear skywards and inching graphite lead. I reached the fly in only three strides and pore over the scrawled line. “To Singaporebugtracker, With Love” I read with delight and the message dissipates like the trailing smoke of a fighter jet. Do you agree the pen is a mighty two-edged sword? My flying mechanic pencil delivered a reassuring note and healed me.

When you've learned the art of hovering, everyday mundane tasks become an exciting activity.
This was a fun and challenging photoshoot to do, with boredom in heart and a camera in hand I decided to go around the house capturing images of myself levitating while reading, cleaning, cooking, sleeping and other everyday tasks. Who knew chores could be so fun?!
This shot gives some idea of the wing motion of a hovering, broad-tail hummingbird. The next shot in my PhotoStream show an alternative wing position of the same bird. Notice that even 1/4000-sec is not enough to totally freeze the wing motion.

When I get invited to a party, I’m usually off in the corner observing the festivities. Yes, I’m an introvert and proud of it!

The hover rover is an automated attack drone utilized by the G.L.S.F. It can be a stationary defense with the wheels down, put the wheels straight up and down, so it moves very quickly. the mode that it's in is the middle, it moves fairly quickly, but it can also take several hits from small arms before it gets knocked of balance.

One of the classic bug photos - a hoverfly, not hovering. These are tiny, just a few mm, but still try to look like a scary wasp.
A new bread of gravity deifying ladybug. when its energy levels dropped its legs came out and it walked like a regular ladybug ;)
Yay, first hover of the year!
I was messing with light this time. 580ex providing background fill and the MT-24 providing the front fill.
I set them both to manual with head A (left) at 1/32 head B (right) 1/64 and bg fill at 1/16.
I did have to bring the leaf back down in post a bit, but nothing was blown out, so it was doable.
Watcha think?
Diptera : Syrphidae
This must be one of the smallest syrphids I have seen. About 5 mm long.
Humedal La Tingua, Bogota Colombia
We saw this tiny hover in our garden for the first time this year but failed to get any decent shots. It's sitting on an ivy leaf so you can tell how small it is. 15/10/2015
also known as flower flies, are a diverse group of true flies known for their ability to hover in mid-air, similar to helicopters. They are important pollinators and some species are beneficial insects, with larvae that feed on aphids and other garden pests.

All my shots are hand-held which can be frustrating but it's what I do. :-)

This is the "Hover Craft" from the Lego look-alike building set by Creatology. The bricks are similar to Lego bricks with some variations. They are made from a softer plastic than the lego bricks. The pieces fit together fairly well but the instructions were a little confusing.
Hover craft? I think they gave this one the wrong name.
