Today, this little fly landed on my leg when we stopped to check into a hotel, then he rode on my finger when we took the motorcycle to our room! Since he was on my right-hand pinkie finger, I had to get him in focus THEN snap the shutter with my same-hand pointer finger! Considering the contortions I went through to get the shot, I loved the way it turned out!

(I wanted to keep him, but Larry wouldn't let him in the room!)

Lol! "Fly Away" I posted that as my song today. I am very amazed and impressed by your photo-taking ability. I have had occasion to do the one hand shot and let me tell ya, the results ... .well, they sucked. These are great Brenda!!! liveandletlive · 2012-05-08: 20:55

Hahaha! That good, Brenda! The 2 # is spectacular, the details of the wings ... Most would say it does not seem so desagrable ... Hahaha! Congratulations for this capture, this fly is a great model :)) TeraMoon · 2012-05-08: 21:04

Good macros! Don't blame your hubby for not letting her in! CHOSSID · 2012-05-08: 21:41

Great shot - do you need to use a mini flyswatter for one of these? lgnelson · 2012-05-08: 22:42

Great captures of an annoying little beast! I wouldn't let him in the room either! LOL! darfoster · 2012-05-08: 22:43

Great macro despite the struggle to get it, Brenda. But where was Larry with his camera snapping you snapping the fly? danrav · 2012-05-09: 04:26

Great first shot but I agree with Larry can't stand fly's when they buzz around..... busybee · 2012-05-09: 04:45

Wow that was lucky and you must have been very quick to catch him before he did fly away OR Larry swatted him???? ;) MoMac · 2012-05-11: 14:27

Great job. Especially considerating the circumstances!! You must have had something really yummy on your finger! RayNvb · 2012-05-11: 21:10
