This colourful fly landed on the daisy as I was composing my shot. One of the things I like about nature photography is that you can’t always predict what you’ll encounter or the outcome of a shot. The possibilities are endless.
Apart from the fly, what I enjoy about this photograph is the imperfect daisy – all too often we focus on the ‘perfect’ ones! This is ‘real’ nature / nature uncut.
What a gift! I got into birding and wildlife photography by way of Landscape photography. Some bird or animal would invariably photobomb me while framing a landscape shot. It frustrated me for a moment then I embraced it like I do sun flare and soon began carrying a telephoto lens to capture just the wildlife or bird.
I’m so glad you’re embracing those moments too. This is a wonderful image, Belinda. I love all the different colors and iridescence of flies…I just can’t them on the whole though. They’re so gross!
I know that feeling. I was once trying to get a photo of a bird at my feeder when a rabbit ran into the picture and sat down.
Cool photo of the visiting fly. I hate flies, but this one has a very spectacular iridescent colour.

Some of my favourite photos are of flowers a bit past their prime. Beauty in their imperfection.

Nice Belinda! Usually I am photographing the flower with the insect and it flys off or turns away. Which is why I was photographing it!

Sometimes you go out to try to find them. Sometimes they just come to you.
