Iridescence 2

Posted by Eric Fry (Houston, TX, United States) on 19 June 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

One of my favorite macros, this little guy is about 3/16" in length (4mm). I never noticed all of the hairs on them until I got one on my computer screen (my eyes aren't that good anymore!)

There is a much better Macro coming up three weeks from today!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you all have a great day,
Eric

Great Macro.. I want to get a new Macro lens...

@Fliss: Thank you, Fliss.

I think a lot of folks have trouble believing that I take all of these macros with a point and shoot camera. I can't wait to get the new Canon Rebel XSi and a good macro/portrait lens!

I love it! Insects are one of my favorite things to shoot because they are always full of surprises like those fine little hairs. Nice shot!

Kara from Ann Arbor, United States

Amazing! I never realized bugs could be so beautiful.

@Kara: Thank you, Kara. I've always been fascinated with insects, especially after I got into photography last year. The thing that surprised me about this fly is how hairy it is; I couldn't see them until I got the image onto my screen!

Je vais dire de plus que tu es un vrai artiste de l’image, probablement un long travail, qui abouti dans du magique , les insectes méconnus par la plupart des humains, tu nous donne un retour au chose de la vie.
