Impressive Job
Just a question, Were you able to catch the fast moving fly at 1/60 while
using flash. Is'nt 1/60 slow for this work
thanks

The length of the flash of the T20 is between 1/1000 and 1/40.000.
Thats short enough the "freeze" the wing movement of an insect or a humming
bird.
The bee fly flies a little like a humming bird, that's why it was not that
difficult to make this picture.
(I have a picture of a humming bird too, but that one is not really
spectacular)
