Hoverfly on Marsh Labrador Tea
Jan 20th, 2008 by Juha Ylitalo
This week’s topic on ‘Photo Theme for Thursday’ is small. I already responded to this challenge with macro shot about zipper, but here is another photograph that would have fit into same theme. Photograph was taken in 140km long hiking trip from Sallatunturi to Ruka. First 60 kilometers (roughly about 40 miles) were UKK hiking trail and last 80km were part of Karhunkierros, which is claimed to be most popular hiking trail in Finland.
More photographs from Karhunkierros (”Bear’s Ring”)
Technical details: Canon EOS 20D & Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro (1/100s, f/16, ISO200)


the details of picture are so clear. when i make enough money from blogging, i’m gonna buy a camera just like yours
Juha, your photography is just amazing! I love how you have captured the delicate beauty of the insect and the blossom. From an artistic point of view you have a great composition here. Well done. I also like your Entrecard widgets, they are wonderful and showcase your photographic skills in a tiny picture. I need to play with mine a bit more and figure out how to put the words on top of the photo.
I love all your photos, but your nature photos are simply stunning to me!
What a fantastic photo. ALL your photos are stunning and I’m really jealous. I’ll keep reading your blog to learn how to take better photos from now on!
beautiful. u must have tens of thousands of dollars worth of camera gear. i love this photo and complicated. very cool
Even though I have spent more euros in camera gear than what I ever expected, when I bought my first dSLR camera, its still than what you pay for your wedding arrangements
If I would have to start it all over again, I might go for couple Canon EOS 40Ds, Tokina AF 12-24mm, Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM, Canon EF 100/2.8 USM Macro, Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM and Canon Speedlight 580EX II .
All together that would be GBP4139.38, which translates to around 5700 euros or USD8200.
