For Technique Challenge 27, macro, I'm quite enjoying using my 105mm lens daily. Today, at the grocery store, while Jim shopped I stalked this bee who finally cooperated in hovering long enough for me to snap a shot that was in focus. The other 30 shots? Deleted 27 of them.
You would thin bees would be easy to photograph being that they fly slow, but they are about as elusive as butterflies. This is magnificent Taffy! The detail is unbelievable! You can almost count the hairs on the bee! Definitely a fav!
Oh good, glad someone else does that. I took my red ball pictures with a blue ball and a smaller green ball and not just one of each. Have some major deleting to do tomorrow.
Brilliant sharpness on the bee, and a background that is sympathetic to your subject but does not compete. (You are doing well with your macro this week)
That's the way it goes with macros and insects....soooo difficult to get the focus right...but you have really nailed this one - must be one of the sharpest insect pics I have seen in a long time!
Great macro & POV, that little fellow looks so huge photographed like this and such great focus too. I lack the patience to go after these little buzzlers!
Oh my word! Stupendous macro and so much to look at - I love it and not just because its purple or that my name means bee in Hebrew! Great comp, colours and timing. FAV FAV
SUPERB! SUBLIME! This is wonderful and an instant fav! I love that bee too! WE don't seem to have these with the yellow fuzz on their butts here. We have ugly carpenter bees that have shiny back end like cockroach shell and "true" bumblebees which I see less..with black and yellow stripes (in fuzz) all the way down their butts or the black butt (fuzz) ones. I never knew there were so many kinds.
