Description
I know I have a couple other flies in my gallery. But because of the ease of finding these guys and the great colors and head shape/look they have I dig shooting them.
I wondered though what some of my macro shots would look like in HDR, so here is a first attempt. Again as with most all my HDR, I stay on the minimal/less drastic side of it. I do think there is a place for the surreal look of it, but I have yet to find an image of mine I like that look on. Here it merely enhanced the colors and lighting.
Thanks for looking!!

Far-out.
Buzz Buzz but I don't see much evidence of HDR. Great focus though - pin sharp.
Excellent! Very clear shot! I love shooting these guys also, you can get really close sometimes...
Awesome Macro. great pov
Stunning portrait of an icky subject!
Outstanding clarity and details.
Bruce, this is simply incredible and stunning. I live in a place called KwaZulu-Natal which means "place of the zulu". However, in summer it is more like kwaNunu because "nunu" is the Zulu word for bug and in the sweltering subtropical heat you are guaranteed of seeing at least 10 bugs or nunus every week that you have never seen before or even be able to identify. I think you would enjoy it here! There are crickets, flies, moths, beetles, fireflies, flying ants, flies, worms, larvae, caterpillars, termites, spiders, scorpions, centipedes, flies, fruitflies, and a myriad other things with six or more legs, winged or not. With summer on its way, I'll see what I can do for you.
Excellent details
Wow amazing macro and detail, excellent well done..
Excellent detail and colors and I am also careful using the HDR for anything other that natural scenes - which may be totally missing out on good things, who knows.
A total success with this macro!
Awesome vibrant colors and detail! Very well done, indeed!!
amazing colors and light!
This is superb! I can't STAND the extreme HDR, they look like really badly hand coloured postcards from my youth. This, however, is perfect!
awesome colors
outstanding macro work... perfection at its best
ja, die Farben einer Fliege sind super! Jede ist unterschiedlich! Ein ganz hervorragendes Macro - sehr sehr schön!!!!!!
Absolutely great macro!
This is an impressive macro! Beautiful!
I've tried HDR on a dragon-fly shot, but it didn't come out anywhere near as well as this. Nice one.
awesome......!
Very nice.
