Bee Macro

I am delighted to say that my back is quite a bit better and I was able to get my beloved camera out again. Lucky thing because I am taking Bryan Peterson's on line macro class and I have homework to do! This was taken with a Nikkor 105 micro lens and a 500D Canon close up filter.

[Jane Pittenger]

@taffy Adding the close up filter really helped

[AC]

Great macro!

[Taffy]

@jgpittenger Thanks -- I'll look into getting one as I do love macro photography. The crispness in yours is incredible!

[Taffy]

@jgpittenger Sorry to be a bother -- but what closeup filter did you use? I'm thinking I'd order the same one.

[John Falconer]

Absolutely the best macro I have seen on 365. Great shot.

[Jane Pittenger]

@taffy I used a canon 500d close up filter together with a nikkor micro 105mm lens

[Taffy]

@jgpittenger Thanks...duh...I realize you had explained that above -- just wasn't thinking when I saw Canon instead of Nikon or nikkor. Sorry!

[Helen]

Another stunning shot Jane - I love the golden glow to it. I've been thinking of getting some close up filters too.

[Jane Pittenger]

@elsbels Fyo the teacher of my macro class says the only close up filters worth using are the canon 500d (works with Nikon too) and the b and w close up filter

[Jacki]

That is just amazing! I love how you can see the pollen all over him!

[Linda]

Super macro shot!

[MaryC]

Brilliant shot.

[Jo]

Such fabulous detail, I love macro, but don't have a specific lens yet and am interested in what you say about filters, iI'll have to go and read up on them. Fav.

[Susan Knowles]

Glorious colour and clarity.
