" Gold and Red "
Uploaded: July 23, 2007
This is a common house fly. I found him hanging around my garbage can. I was going to photograph him from a higher angle to capture the patterns in his back, but when I looked through the lense, to my supprise I saw what looked like gold leaf on his face. It may look different on your monitor. Sigma 28/70 lense reversed f/16 shutter 500. Tripod, remote and lots of light. I hope you like it, comments more than welcome.
Exif: Exposure Time: 1/60, Flash: 0, Camera Model: NIKON D70
