Bee the Daisy

I think this guy was stunned or possibly dead, but at least he stayed still for me to shoot. I keep attempting quasi macro shots with my kit 18-55 mm lens, and sometimes they're alright......
rather beautiful in b&w! many thanks for the follow, elena - very much appreciated :)

Nice use of DOF.

Love this especially being b&w

I used my kit lens for years to do close-ups and they work well. It just requires you to get a little closer. Of course with a bee, it's better to keep a distance! Good shot!

Very nice!

Very nice capture. Have you ever tried extension tubes? They can take a kit lens to new levels.

@joysabin I have heard of these, and know they are an economical version of a macro lens.. As I get deeper into this photographic journey, and I am learning so much from this community and other websites, I shall pursue more avenues. Thank you for your peek, comments and advice, much appreciated.

It looks like you're making the best use of your kit lens....I love the way it looks in black & white, very effective.

@mariannamgrimaud Thanks much for your complimentary words, I'm doing a monthly B&W theme to force my self to imagine photos as B&W as I shoot.

nice shot, interesting with little pops of focus through it.

Unusual to see the bee on the under side of the flower. This is very pretty and works well in b&w
