Scary Bug
The first time at Macro for a very long time , but it was fun but boy I have a lot to learn ... This bug was as big as my thumb and as noisy as a motorbike , buzzing around my head . Thanks for looking

Nice Capture Otta. A monster of a fly. Looks like a mutated bluebottle of some sorts

Well captured - they're not easy subjects.
Is there some sort of noise reduction going on ?

Hi .. Thanks for looking
I do enjoy taking close up shots , but I have a lot to learn .
Hi Phil , No noise reduction but maybe camera shake and reduced for the web.
Just to add , now found out what it is , a CARPENTER BEE and boy do they come in some colours . ( taken in Thailand )
