Hexagenia limbata...probably. We don't see these up here until the middle/end of June. That's the time to be trout fishing at dusk.
What glass were you using on this? There's excellent DOF. I'm assuming it was a long lens at f/5.6 or so to get that kind of depth. I've tried shooting with the 105mm Macro and to get this close, I lose all sorts of depth of field in macro mode. I thought I'd try it again with the 200mm at a greater distance. Any hints? There are no Exif details to help me out.
180mm lens on 1.3 crop factor sensor at about f8 or f11. Exif info at office. Can't readily see how to include exif info in Fotki. Is there a particular setting within FOTKI settings?
Melanerpes erythrocephalus. This is a FANTASTIC shot Al. We used to see a LOT of these birds when I was a kid; it's rare to see one around here now. I guess insecticides have taken their toll.
This guy landed twice on the front of my lens hood while I was in a blind. He is a gorgeous little bird and looks smaller up close. This is the fourth strait year these warblers have nested on our lake home porch.
