I found a solitary fly today as I trekked about the yard. Pickin's are getting slim.
Canon 5D Mk II at ISO 200, with Canon EF100mm Macro lens, 1/200-sec at f/11, 1st-curtain sync, Canon 580EX II speedlight with 6x8-inch softbox diffuser.

Pickin's are gettin' slim around here too. However, I'm looking forward to an open house at the local bug warehouse, yes, "bug warehouse", this Sat. with Douglass :-D :wink:
They have live and not so alive insects-n-such from around the world. I expect I will be bringing some home with me :)
Very nice fly capture. DoF is really good :thumbup:

Ran one of the sharper images through Lightroom and tweaked it a bit. Trimmed for detail of course.
I tried to shoot a few extras for stacking but he was just to skittish to sit still for it.

Just noticed your in Redondo Beach. I went to Honda training there in the late 70's. Spent two weeks there and had a great time walking the beach at night much to some of the locals surprise. never had any issues but kept them worried about me.
