The Little Buzz
draw and shoot
Shooting photographs, drawing lines…
Oh my gosh, Karen. What gorgeous capturing of iridescence and those beautiful colours too! What kind of fly? is it?
Thank you, Trish. The light was quite nice – a bit subdued – and those flies are sort of pretty up close.
I think the iridescent one is a common Green bottle fly but I’m no fly expert in fly identification! : )
Oh, so beautiful! Isn’t it interesting, something that is generally swatted away is so beautiful. Looking close is what we should do more often. I especially love the detail and form of the second from the top – the intricacy of the flower is wonderful.
Hello! Lovely shots, Karen. I especially like the one second from the bottom. Gorgeous palette.
The colors are amazing, Karen, and your images are beautifully shot against the flowers. Surprising how gorgeous the poor maligned fly is. You’ve done a good deed for him here. 🙂
The house fly is among the most difficult subjects to shoot (at least for me) because of their size and the fact that they move at the speed of light. You have done exceptionally well with these. Nice work!
Amazing
Great shots Karen, as usual ;o)
Beautifully and expertly shot…my arch enemy; the fly!
So wonderful. The magic. I love the little fly too, of course.
Gorgeous! Such amazing colours and focus. And as always,you bring an edge to each one, which makes them even more beguiling..
Really lovely, Karen. Love the color palette of the ones with just the buds.
this is my first visit to your site and I’m very impressed by the quality of your work. This little insect is very hard to capture so you did a great job, like very much the #7 and #8
If you wish, you can visit my blog at http://www.robertmarleau.com you are welcome
Marvelous! Each image captures the wonder of the often unseen or unregarded. Simply beautiful.
I can’t stand flies, but you made this one look like the most precious jewel. Thanks for putting me in my place 🙂
