Another Snipe Fly

This one was very cooperative. I was able to gets lots of angles. However, although I could always get the eyes looking domed in the viewfinder, they always came out flattened.

Anyway, the golden thoracic hairs show well on this one, which was about half the size of the previous one, permitting use of the Printing Nikkor 105mm, with its FOV of 17.5mm.

Hand-held, with twin TTL Flash. Images cropped for composition.

    Thanks. I didn't realise what it was until I processed the images. I just knew it looked good in the viewfinder.

    Thanks.

    This is one species where you can get the nearside legs in focus, as well as all the other interesting bits.

    Thanks, Ian.

    Yes, that's what made me take numerous shots. The eyes of a horsefly without the bite.
