Fly

One of the many good things about being a geography teacher is the ability to occasionally get out into the 'geography' - like yesterday's field trip to the Nerang River catchment. While the kids were doing their work, I took the opportunity to take a few photos. Although I'm not overly thrilled with the landscapes I got, I'm happy with this fly. This has to be the shiniest fly I've ever seen - if you look closely, you can actually see my reflection in the second blue-green segment on his shoulder.

• A lifetime ambition, Heath, to be seen reflected in a fly’s shoulder . . lol . . but a good capture and fascinating detail in the little fella. What lens set-up are you using for these macros ?

• Crikey! A very unsual shot. What did your students think of teacher stalking flies?

• English lesson: there work = their work please.
  Great shot though.

• A little bit more focus would be nice :)
  But still, nice shot,
