[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this in the morning after the sun has warm up the ground. I don't know where all the hoverflies has been but they are everywhere now. I have tried to ID this, spent over 1 hours on the web and checking my notes, but I’m not sure, it could be a
Eristalini (Anasimyia transfuga).

I used a tripod, Howard ;-))

Technique:
Sigma 180 Macro EX HSM, Kenko 1,4 X converter, Sigma EF 500 DG for fill-in, Handheld
ISO 200, Raw-format -1/3, flash -2/3 ev
Convert, Levels, Contrast, Crop, resized to 800 pixels , USM. I used Adobe Photoshop CS2 for PP

Gert, excellent capture and well done on the composition. what a beauty. Not sure of the kind, interesting though, if it were yellow stripes, helophilus, who knows.

I hesitated to invest in the 1.4x converter , no more doubt!
how far were you to take it ?
Very nice (at all), well done

Rare for me hoverfly Gert. Very detailed, nice looking pollen on patterned body. Good composition and very optimistic colours.

Hello Gert.

Hello Gert, lovely shot. I've not seen one of these before. I think you are correct on the genus but the shape of the abdomen looks more like A. contracta, what do you think?

Beautiful details and excellent colours, very well done.

Gert, it's colorful and beautiful.


An excellent composition and an excellent sharpness.

Just a curiousity: you used f/18. With such a DOF, the left wing should be in focus, shouldn't it?

Kind regards.

Bel insecte bien mis en valeur dans cette composition photographique. Jolies couleurs, bon point de vue et très bonne netteté.
Wow ! Wondreful, interesting & very well done Gert !!!

Gert, You had better slow down with that 180mm + 1.4X - You are going to wear it out! ;-) Another excellent capture my friend, well done!
