Housefly and ... clay pigeon shooting

This was a very skittish house fly out on the compose heap and I couldn't get the camera close to it. There are so many variables and moving parts / targets with macro photography. None-the-less, it's fun to try. I think it's time to start looking for a flash solution - I'll have to read up on it.

Now I know the shotgun shots aren't macro, but they too were fun to capture today. It's neat to see the pellets en-route and the clay pigeon start to be impacted and breakup as the pellets intersect with it. I with I would have bumped the shutter speed up as there was plenty of light it would have been neat to see what the images looked like with 1/800 or 1/1600 or more even .. next time!  :)
