The Fly

[veronicacburges]

I took this photo of a barely living fly using my Sony kit lens reverse mounted. Believe it or not I kept getting nervous that it would somehow touch me so I couldn't keep the camera still enough to really get a clear shot. This was the best one! Anyway, I think it's interesting none the less.

Thanks you! I used an adapter ring I got from eBay. It works very nicely. I didn't use a tripod though cause I was doing laundry and spotted this nasty thing. I just grabbed the camera, slapped the ring on and went for it. It was so closeup that I kept getting a little squeemish trying to take the picture!

Here is the eBay store I purchased mine from:

Nice picture of a nasty subject! I'd be a little squeamish, too.
