This is super, Bill! Many congrats! #2377565Rob Martin May 02, 2007
How close did you get to this thing?? I know which lens you used because I looked it up online but how far away was the lens positioned from the fly? I bet you had to be really still for it not to fly away? This photo is simply atunning. I've never seen such an awesome macro shot before. I mean geez, you can even see the fly's hair ha ha ha. Greay job as always Bill. Thank you for your comments on my photos. #4239050paul parent May 06, 2007
