Aaron Murgatroyd
Awesome photo Cathy, I love the smooth tones, no highlights, can I ask, what light source did you use for this, an external flash?
Cathy Jacobs replied
Thanks Aaron, I didn’t use a flash for this but the fly was resting on a bag leaning against a white shed which acted as a huge reflecter. Plus it was overcast which helped. :-)
