Re: PESO: A very ugly fly
Well, it is an excellent photograph of an ugly fly. The photo doesn't make me like it anymore, but helps me to clearly see why I don't like it.

Re: PESO: A very ugly fly
Thanks, Some answers: No magic applied here. Flies are best shot in the evening when they cool down. This one was really hibernating for the night. Lens F100/2.8 macro with the AF160FC. This ringflash is superb for macros like this. I've set one side to 100% and the other to 50% which puts some contrast in the subject. The assist light is also very handy for bug hunting at dusk. The real challenge is the background, if the background is too far away everything is pitch black. In this case a yellow flower is the background. Very difficult to focus on the subject and also keep an eye on the moving background. Nice to read you noticed the background!
