They have encouraged to me to return to TN, friends who wish like me that the site grows with our images and experiences.

The return of several of them, the order of many others, stimulates to me to once again try it... thanks to all of them.


The Flight of Love

A new image of hoverflies... the spring this way
continues in all its splendor.

And like result the same species that I have shown to HERE copulating but in this case in the full flight.

I have tried previously these captures, but the difficulty of the focus on these small flies that do not surpass 10mm. of extension had made me fail.

The system of Manual Focus of my camera is not most comfortable, added to that I do not use tripod did of these images everything a problem.

I believe that finally I managed it with acceptable results to be published... I
hope is to the the liking of you.

*************************************************

Me han alentado a regresar a TN, amigos que desean al igual que yo que este
sitio crezca con nuestras imágenes y experiencias.

El regreso de varios de ellos, el pedido de muchos otros, me estimula a intentarlo una vez más... gracias a todos ellos.


El Vuelo del Amor

Una nueva imagen de moscas de las flores... la primavera por aquí continúa en todo su esplendor.

Y como resultado la misma especie que les he mostrado HERE copulando pero en este caso en pleno vuelo.

He intentado anteriormente estas capturas, pero la dificultad del foco sobre estas pequeñas moscas que no superan los 10mm. de extensión me habían hecho fracasar.

El sistema de Foco Manual de mi cámara no es el más cómodo, sumado a que no utilizo trípode hacía de estas imágenes todo un problema.

Creo que finalmente lo logré con resultados aceptables para ser publicada... espero sea del agrado de ustedes.

Excellent capture!
I've not seen them flying together like this.
Nice and sharp.
Excellent note................Nice too see you back!

Missed seeing your photos lately Ricardo. This is just a great catch with a high degree of difficulty. Maybe you should've called it "Backfield in Motion"! ;-)) Thanx for posting this wonderful in-flight shot!!

In my spirit, you had not really left. I consider that it is healthy to call in question its actions from time to time. And you return with an excellent image!

En mi mente, usted realmente no se había ido. Considero que es sano llamar en la pregunta sus acciones a partir del tiempo al tiempo. Y usted vuelve con una imagen excelente!

How did you manage to take this picture? It is amazing, beautiful, and I never saw it before!

Hooray and welcome back. Fantastic shot here Ricardo. It's pretty hard to get one in flight but to capture two while mating is outstanding. Very well done.

WOW!!!
Unbeliveable capturing,Congratulation,AQmazing ,nicely and skilfully freezed and captured,well composed in this moment,wonderful,Bravo,Ricardo.

Great capture of these double-decker hoverflies ;-)). Very sharp for an in-flight capture of these little critters, you must have been really quick to catch this. I was happy with getting just one ;-))

Hello Ricardo. This is really exceptional!
I've never seen this happening here (although I live in France :-)), and of course never had the chance to capture it. I can imagin how difficult it is. You did a great job, and got perhaps a very rare photo. Besides that, it's has a very good photographic quality, plus an irresistible humorous touch when I see how they fly in such a close contact.

Fantastic capture Ricardo and one that brings a smile to my face. It looks like one is carrying the other. Very well spotted.

Thanks for posting
