I tried for hours to capture a hoverfly in flight and this is probably the best shot I got. I took hundreds; most were either out of focus or there was simply no fly by the time I released the shutter!
I'm reasonably happy with this but think it could be better. I can see much of next summer repeating this experiment!
not easy but well done - the flower gives a real sense of scale as well.
Have a look at the winner of the macro section of the digital camera photographer of the year contest just announced, two hoverflys mating in mid air - amazing shot - a project for you for the summer, LOL sue

Yep, I spent many a happy hour trying to achieve this shot last year. Nothing came as good as this so well done on your perseverance which has certainly paid off. Roll on this summer for another go.
