Royal PMX

Uh oh! RBM spent the time to learn how to take super-macros without a macro lens. It's lowest F value possible, appropriate shutter speed for light, manual focus ONLY, and the zoom feature is totally fine in this application.  I'm so freaking happy right now.  Look forward to much better pics of bugs, both living and fake.

One of the best flies on the face of the planet, one of the best albums on the face of the planet.
