Beautiful fly images.
Must have been taken when they weren't allow to fly due to vulcano ash. Wink
Serious, they are stunning.

Did you stack them or is just a single image?
What aperture did you use?

Great images. How do you manage to get so close without scaring them off?

Thanks all!

@ Himself: no, no stacking, these are just single exposures. I used 1/16, which is the min aperture on my Vivitar 55mm
@ Martin: I have noticed that these flies become rather slow early in the morning and after dinner in the evening. They are cold blooded, so they fall in lethargy more or less when the temperature drops. Conclusion: the best time for insect macros is early morning, in the afternoon, or at cold days. These were made after dinner yesterday.

Excellent shots, I have the same lens but haven't reached your level using film.............a magician can make a fly come back from the dead, the trick is to put it in the refridgerator first and the heat of your hand revives it.
