Hoverflies

[FishyFish]

I've not done much macro stuff at all this year, spending much of my time with film photography, but I couldn't resist these hoverflies this morning.

Nikon D3200, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 OS HSM & Pop-up flash with homemade difuser.

Fantastic. I'm new to macro but these are great. Well taken.

Thanks John.

Most welcome. Are these stacked?

Nice set fella. I'm always happy to see what can be achieved with a lens I own. I'd be very happy with those.

No, not stacked. Shot at f/16 but not at closest focus, so I got a little more DOF.

Well done. I particularly like #2 and #4 with the subjects nicely sharp and in that sea of mauve
