I love shooting macro. I photograph insects, flowers, spider webs - all things small. I don't have a dedicated macro lens; I use an old Minolta compact bellows for a film camera with my Minolta film lenses and an adapter ring to fit my Canon DSLR.
I have tried leaving several posts, but have not been able to. I tried to post more than one photograph and it would duplicate the previous photo, and took a very long time for it to load. Can anyone direct me of a way to post more than one photograph at a time?
This is of a delta winged fly. I don't remember ever seeing one before I shot this.

Hi Steve, welcome to this group. I never tried to upload more then one at the time. I can't help you with that at this moment. I also never saw a fly like this one. Where in the world have you take this one?
It was at a garden in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I took quite a few shots before I got a couple of good ones. The fly just didn't want to hold steady while I focused my macro lens. Unfortunately, the lighting was not very bright so I was forced to use a larger aperture than I wanted.
From the front view, the fly's wings had a delta shape. Very interesting.
