A very good attempt Gaz ..... lovely and clear ...hovers don't stay still for long ..... JulieTwelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.
Well, it's far better than anything I've done so far and I try to shoot way bigger bugs than this. I think you've got great light and the focus is sharp. I love the gossamer wings. My Gallery
It's all very easy!...lol...all you need is a tripod and a shutter release....then learn how to creep up!...lol.......nice image Gaz,I love hover flies!
sorry I forgot,,,,,dont use anything under F9 when you get in close as the dof is miniscle when you get in tight....Good luck.................Ken

Cheers Ken, the tips are much appreciated, I've just gone and bought a Manfrotto Mono Pod, so I still need another 2 legs to stand on Will check out how much a shutter release is, hope you're well?
Regards
Fine thanks Gaz!......Cable release for a Nikon D300,,£24.99 from SRS Microsystems, a magic company to deal with. I just use a lightweight mini tripod, you can pick them up very cheap,pointless getting a full size singing and dancing job as they tend to get stuck in the bushes!..lol....good luck my friend and keep snapping,practice makes perfect!.................Ken
