Couple of flies

Lord Vetinari

Couple of flies I found in the garden yesterday,. A small fruit fly wandering around in a chrysanthemum flower I'd previously used for a refraction shot and a a fairly large dung fly posing on the back of a sunchair.
The dung fly shots are focus stacks from 3 or 4 shots, stacked using zerene stacker.

Amazing.

How do you get them to pose for you? Is a model release necessary?

Thanks for the comments Neal

The fruit fly would not pose at all - it was walking around the flower trying to get away from me. The Dung fly was a bit easier it did stop walking around a few times and the first flash then seemed to freeze it.
