Setting it to 1:1 and shifting the whole cam back and forth until the focus is good and using a diffused flash.

The detail of the eyes... -mindblown-
I think you're the only person I've seen who can truly capture the beauty of a fly. XD

Well, the way the light is hitting the animal and giving it that multicoloured metallic look... it's very impressive. (:

Beautiful. I love flies, they fascinate me. I envy you the ability to have the technology and skill to see these tiny wonders up close. I have always loved insects and this is the only way I can see their little faces. It makes me marvel at God's work so much more.

Thank you very much. To be honest, i didn't bother too much about flies until i had the macro equipment and was lacking "more interesting" insects. But from my first fly shot on, they fascinated me too. They have so many details and everything is purely functional.
