Chasing Hover Flies

[Scotty]

Out in the garden today with my sigma 150mm macro trying to get some hoverfly shots. these are the best of a bad bunch. I know #2 is a bit harsh with the flash, still trying to get that right. practice, practice, practice

I love this lens but it is kinda heavy and difficult to keep steady

Thanks for looking
