Photographers Comments
I was at a pier taking shots of the water, the sailboats, the angles of the pathway. A huge swarm of flies approached me and I couldnt escape them.
So I tried to focus on the flies. Unfortunately my speed setting wasnt right, it all happened so fast, but I managed to capture an interesting shot anyway.
They look like little bits of folded paper floating in the air.
I thought it was interesting to see the path of their flight and the shape they created in the shot.

Yeah, it's called making good use of a bad situation.
I want to do it again, but this time get my speed right and see if I can actually capture at least one of them clearly...would be neat!
Will have to go back to the pier in the spring, when the flies are most likely to be........flying!
