Description
Common Greenbottle Fly (Lucilia sericata, Grüne Schmeißfliege)Went out for a bit to try out my brand-new extension tubes today. It was windy and overcast, so not exactly prime conditions. That being said, some results like this shot here turned out surprisingly impressive. However, I did get a lens-camera-communication error twice and had to switch the camera off and on again; this is probably due to using all three extension tubes with a moderately heavy lens. Next time I'll try using only the largest ext. tube, since I couldn't always get within minimum focal distance, anyway. I also had to use a lot of flash and high ISO settings in order to get decent exposure.
In any case, for hand-held shots by a macro beginner such as me, the results are still pretty good I'd say.
EDIT: Updated the image; corrected wrong color profile set in Lightroom.
