Description
First chance i've had to do some proper macro photography of insects.I know it's not perfect and there are way better insect shots out there but i think it derserves a place in my gallery. .
Taken with a Canon 60mm macro lens.
Shot in raw and processed in lightroom and photoshop.
Enjoy

No it's actually a little hover fly
I guess it was just over 1/2 an inch wide (including wingspan)
And yes i was very lucky
Thanks

I'm hoping to get more tbh, i hadn't intended shooting insects as it was so hot and they were really lively. I was just in the right place at the right time
