Busy as a Bee

I now know why people say this. Bees do not sit still. They are extremely inconsiderate of my reverse macro practice!

[hellcat]

lol... no they don't sit still at all! You did this with a reverse macro? Did you use an attachment to hold the lenses together? I love this... and rather like the focus.

@hellcat Yes, I used my f/1.8 50mm, and I did use a reverse macro ring. I tried last week to just hold the lens, and it was MUCH easier with the ring. I paid $6 for it on Amazon. Definitely worth it.

Great capture, E!

[hellcat]

Sweet! It turned out really well! I'll have to look into the ring. Thanks for the info. (I'd taped mine to a different lens and did a lot of huffing and puffing while trying to focus.)

@shutterbugger The ring was totally worth it! So much easier...still hard though!

[Michael Elliott]

colors are beautiful - great capture!

@egad Glad to hear you love it! RM with a bee is hard, but you did a great job! Usually my subjects don't move and are less likely to sting :)
