This little hover-fly returned to rest on the same spot of wall several times. I captured this image with an Olympus E500 camera fitted with a reverse mounted Som Berthiot 25mm cine lens in a home made mount.
I am a Somerset, England, UK based photographer with many years experience. If I can see it, I will consider it as a subject for my camera. I have websites for art photography and Stock Photography
