So I was out and about a nature reserve looking for macro inspiration and not finding any.

I noticed a few hoverflies milling about and decided to have a go at photographing one mid-flight.

The suckers are the size of a peanut and change direction quicker that a teenage mood swing.

After about 1 hour of sudden neck movements I was getting dizzy, but did not give up.

I thought I got the shot but could not really tell until I got back home to a large computer screen:

One shot from hundreds. Most difficult pic I ever took.

Shutter speed was 1/2500
