The Fly
May 21, 2006
Michael found this brightly coloured fly, dead, outside. He was so impressed that he brought it inside. I was so impressed that I grabbed my macro lens, an extension tube, and my 50mm lens, hooked them all up together and went for a closer look.
Details: Nikon 105mm 1:2.8 macro, 52.5mm extension tube, 50mm 1:1.8 reversed, ~f/22, 1/100s, ISO 800, SB-800 flash.

I love this picture - may I use it for a grants workshop powerpoint? See www.UnitedArts.cc, click on Grants on the left, and Organizational Project Grants or Professional Development Grants on the right - I'm teaching artists and arts organizations how to write grant applications that will get funded. (Why do I need a fly? Because I'm likening errors and omissions to flies they need to swat away from the "meal" they're preparing for the grant reviewers...)
Please let me know - my first workshop is Tues, Apr. 17
Thanks a billion!

Oh - I just saw the creative commons license at the bottom. This isn't commercial, so I'll go ahead and use the pic, crediting you at the end of the PowerPoint. If for any reason this ISN'T ok, let me know - I just love the beautiful colors on this fly and would enjoy having it be part of my presentation.
Thanks!
