Fly 1680x1050 Widescreen Wallpaper (2.4:1)

Incredible Detail!!! Good Macro Lens is now on my list!

Awesome Shot.
I wish i can do that on my Nikon D40 with the Kit Lens .. hehehe

this may be an epic shot, but i still hate them, especially how they rub these "hands" together...

i love the details of it...u can almost feel the texture of it.. great lens

Whatta shades

This is a great shot AB... you should add your signature to it so all the folks who download it know who shot it and where to find more. Love the tones and the details. Keep up the great work . Hatch

The face is really, really great. You must've been crazy close to get that with a 65mm!

AirBrontosaurus says:

Thanks everyone! This is my first "flickr blog" photo! Yay!

I shot this using the Canon MP-E 65mm Macro lens. This lens has a minimum magnification of 1:1, and can go all the way up to 5:1 (5 times life sized!). This particular shot was taken at about 2.3:1, and I had a little more than 2 inches from the end of the lens to the fly's face.

Again, thanks for all the nice comments!
