Thanks.rpt said:Wow! How did you manage to shoot this?Mr Bean said:March Fly in flight.
From an insect perspective, I noticed they were hanging around the back of house, hovering on occasion (for 2-3 seconds), before darting off. If I stood still, peaking over the viewfinder (because they would dart off at the slightest movement), they would get within 1-2m from me. But sometimes, they would get within 30-50cms from the lens.
I had the twin macro flash setup, plus the 5D3 was set to 6fps, and in AI Servo mode. The tricky bit (from a camera perspective) was trying to get enough focus points to pick up on the fly, and not the background. Sooooo many out of focus / trees in focus shots. Thankfully, it's digital, not film

Hi K-amps!
Really nice idea and good result. Especially for that circumstances.
The only thing I am thinking about is the WB and the color tones.
They look pleasing but a little bit off, maybe due to the light.
But nothing that must be changed. It's more about preferences.

Fantastic Capture! Well done.
My 100L is always in my backpack bag. This is insanely good and sharp

We had a fairly low tide yesterday so I went down to the tide pools along the cliffs at Cabrillo National Monument. Lots of these Striped Crabs in the crevices. Used a pair of small flashlights for illumination.

Great shot!Mr Bean said:Drop of life.
I did use the 25mm extension ring, with the 100mm macro. It gave me a little more magnification, which I needed for a drop of water
The refraction in the water drop makes it really cool.
In addition please also share the exposure data, esp. f-stop and distance. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Maximilian. The details are: ISO400 2.5 seconds @ f11. I used the Macro twin flash and the distance was probably around 100mm (it was pretty much the minimum focus distance of the 100mm lens plus 25mm extension tube).Maximilian said:Great shot!Mr Bean said:Drop of life.

It was raining at the time, and I've discovered how well the 5D3 takes moisture. Not that I want to get it wet, but, sometimes the best time to take pic's of water drops is in the rain
