As mentioned to Alan the Odyssee a few Blog posts back I’d had my camera a Canon power shot A720 a couple of years before by chance I worked out how to use the Macro setting, every time I set “tulip” on the dial it came up manual focus !!! No where in the instructions does it say you have to be in Auto with no zoom on ! for Macro, any way after I figured it out I spent a couple of days out in the local park stalking flies. If you’ve not tried it you’ve to move slow and not cast a shadow ! Great Fun. I took them at 3264 x 2448 and cropped them to around 800 x 600 with windows paint
of course there’s competition from other stalkers
Nice flies.... Its always worth checking when somebody says that to you eh?
ReplyDeleteA very nice collection too!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous. Haven't seen a solitary fly up here when out walking the dog. You must have them all!
What amazing pictures. I can't even get a picture of a lamb without it runs off first so I would never be able to get a fly.
