Oh to be a fly on the wall....

Paul Iddon · March 10, 2015

Oft said - and here is why - a fly on the wall...

First one is the original view through the camera, with the lens as close as I could reach at first - and then the fly moved a little bit nearer, and I started to move my tripod into various (awkward) positions to try and vary the angles a bit more to create some variety - all the while getting a bit nearer.

Note, some rotation and crop involved as well as a two extension tubes to finish with...

All round about f/11, @ ISO 160, 200th sec

Aye - it stayed a good few minutes.

Did you spot anything extra Phil?

Well worth the effort.

How long did you have to wait for a fly which matched the background?

I didn't - a quick step out into the night air and I saw it on the wall. Then it was a case of dash back in for the gear!
