Let Me In

A Crane Fly - Daddy Long Legs - waited patiently on the outside of the front door giving plenty of time to set up the 350D with bellows to catch a series of shots of its underside. Nine photos of varying focus points were processed by CombineZP to make one stacked picture.

There are quite a few Crane Flies appearing at the moment, later in the year than I normally see them though different types do appear at different times of the year.

  2. It is nice, Roy, to get to see the underside sometimes. Such large eyes on a tiny head, not exactly much room for a brain ;)

  4. An incredible shot, John and a most unusual one too. I remember when I was at school and we started the new term in early September, the outside walls of the school were always covered in Crane Flies, I have never seen so many in one place since.

  5. Thank you Keith. I was lucky it stayed still for quite a while. The lens was about an inch away though on the opposite side of the glass.

  8. I like to see things from different viewpoints Frank. Insects look so different from underneath.
