Some nice adult fly pictures

Recommended Posts

Soon I'll be free to continue working on the new version of my site, finally! Classes are over and I've got one week left until I'm done with finals and projects and everything. (Incidentally, one really interesting final project is a mathematical model of trout selectivity for my theoretical ecology class.) But I did find time to get a few adult insects to photograph with my new camera.

 

These are just a small sample of the "keeper" pictures from about 7 insects I photographed... the rest will appear in my site's next major update.

My camera setup is detailed at the bottom of this page. I used the MP-E 65mm 1-5X Macro lens for these shots... better than a bellows or extension tubes. smile.gif
