Robber Fly

Uploaded: May 30, 2006

Description

I have to shoot this a little upward to avoid a flat image that normally happens when shooting the profile of a robberfly.

aperture f22, shutter 1/200, lens 50mm, ISO400. Fill-in flash.

Thank you all.
You are right, Richard, but in some ways that's more convinient for me but not for some camera shy subjects, of course. #2834590
