Bee on a thistle

Thought it was time I got rid of the thistle I missed last time, but then I saw the bees around it, so of course I had to go back inside to get the camera. Love the macro lens

Beautiful macro shot. And your lens is very sharp.

Mind if I ask what make of lens you used? I use a Sigma that I like quite well.

@mbrutus Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G, this shot was handheld too, although to be fair it was a really still morning

[M. Brutus]

Very nice. I thought it might be. Love the way the background loses focus, too.

@yorkshirekiwi I still take most of my macro shots handheld, just for convenience sake. Though many people will only use tripods. It all depends on how much time I have and how many flowers I want to get photographed.
