Wow, that's really good -- nice steady hand with the camera.  That is so difficult to do without a tripod for me. Very cool details!

@fossilgirl8 Thanks for the appreciation.

this camera doesnt even need a lens... just turn it into SuperMacro mode and the closer you get to something, the clearer it becomes!!!! its awesome.

[contactronak]

@mohamadalikazi Thanks for the comment. I agree SuperMacro mode in this camera is great, but it doesn't work for small insects as they get scared once you get so close. WIth this macro lense, I can be at around 6 inch distance from them.

How did you get this depth ? My Raynox has about 1 mm to work with... It's kind of difficult to get sharp pictures. Is this cropped or something ?

[contactronak]

My aperture was set to f8. Smaller the aperture, bigger the DOF you get. This housefly wasn't big either, max 3 mm width I suppose.

Anyways, I realized after the spraying that I was spraying pure vinegar at him. My Dad uses it to clean up the dog's crap or something. I've always hated it. The fly at this point disappears because I looked away realizing it was vinegar. I look all over the counter, the window ledge, the blinds, nothing. 5 minutes pass and I reach for the first dish to wash and he FALLS ON MY HEAD, bounces, hits the floor, writhing in pain. I was so shit baked! I ended it though.

He was attacking me violently after each time I sprayed him with febreeze. I honestly felt bad, I questioned if this was a sign from God or something!? Hahaha, I was losing it. I told myself, maybe it's a test, but in any case I stopped, paused, then proceeded to the laundry room for a spray bottle of water. This was it. I spray him at least 7 times, as he's hiding to survive. I felt horrible at this point but he was really pissing me off. Oh my.

I just had a war with a house fly. I literal war. Battlefield, loaded guns, everything. It honestly may as well have been. Here I am bringing down dishes, over the stairs I go, immediately there's a silhouette of light from the stairs on the wall, I figure I see a month so I go to the kitchen. He comes at my head. The size of a quarter, what a house fly. He buzzes into me again. Lands on the wall 3 times, I spray him with Febreeze, he has trouble near the end and flys to my blinds in the window
