Photos of Flies�

2001-05-10

I spent the afternoon yesterday taking pictures of a little metallic green fly. I don't know how the pictures have turned out yet. I haven't looked at them. It didn't even look real, the color was so weird. It wasn't a cooperative model, either. It was continuously moving from spot to spot. However, it stayed in the area long enough for me to fill three disks with pictures. Flies are certainly more challenging subjects than flowers.

I was trying to take a picture of an enormous black bumblebee, but it was even less cooperative than the fly.
