I have no doubt photographing flies is tricky as you say. You've certainly
done a nice job here. Cheers, Christine

http://www.pbase.com/kiwibiologist/image/120808718
I have been taking fly photos lately for an upcoming web project on
New Zealand flies. This one is from the backyard and features a h
long-legged fly (family Dolichopodidae). These are agile predators
and are very fast. Gave up using pTTL flash since the pre-flash
elicted an escape response and everytime the actual exposure would
record an empty space where the fly was - does anyone know what the
interval is between flashes?
The wind which has blown unabated for the last week or so made this
even trickier and getting something in focus was a real challenge -
finally managed something reasonable with this one.
Tech details - K10D, FA100/2.8 F19, 125th, Iso 100, Metz AF58, monopod
