Hoverfly in motion

[Graham]

As there have been a few shot`s of Hoverflies on here in this past few weeks I thought I would share one of my best captures of one.

Excellent capture Graham, looks sharper than a lot of static hoverflies I've seen.

Thanks Alby, I was just lucky I guess as It came into view just as I was about to take a shot of something else.

Thanks Siall things come to those that wait

Thanks, IIRC it was a hot sunny day (it normally is here anyway) and the bg was just emptiness.

Male Episyrphus balteatus, the "Marmalade fly". Very nice.

Superb clarity, I've been having a real struggle to get a shot like this, did you use AF or MF to get this shot?

Thanks, erm I'd say manuel focus as on a D3200
These things that fly/move are never going to be easy to het a shot of.

Erm no, small little buggers but like Bees, they are great pollinators.
