Description

Technique: It was really windy so I went looking for insects feeding on the flowers in my back yard. A little tricky because I didn't use any bait to slow it down, but the wind was blowing so much that the fly couldn't tell when I grabbed onto the flower's stem.

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 37mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

Wonderful. It is so fascinating to be able to see every part of the body of the insect.
Great capture!
