bee

little bee of the family andrena in a common vetch flower

Hello everyone, I'm looking forward to seeing what I can learn and share with the community about macro photography. My preferred style is non-stacked and in natural light - which is a very difficult way to shoot macro but I love the challenge and the results. I do shoot with flash, too when...

In my backyard a few days ago

200 mm - 1/2500 - f/3.2 - iso 200

Here is a photo taken yesterday at 9pm when temperature wasn't as cool as I'd like too. Handheld shot made with Nikon D7200, Laowa 100 mm supermacro lens, Neewer cobra flash and homemade curved diffuser. Effective magnification 3:1

Here another photo taken this morning at 5am of a sleeping bee posed on a white flower. Always some dew drops on both. Handheld shot made with Nikon D7200, Laowa 100 mm supermacro lens, Neewer cobra flash and homemade curved diffuser.

iso 250, f8, 1/160, tamron 90 + Raynox 250, flash + diffuser "pringles"

Continuing my tests with Raynox, I was lucky the bee was cooperative. iso 250, f20, 1/160, Tamron 90 + raynox DCR 250, canon eos 5D III + flash

Raynox + tamron I just made a diffuser for the flash, I need criticism and constructive advice, to continue my investigations.

Yesterday evening at 9pm I decided to take a tour in the field behind my house to find some insects to shoot. I've found several wild bee species including this one shot handheld with Nikon D7200, Laowa 100 mm supermacro lens, Neewer cobra flash and homemade curved diffuser.

Summer time is Lavender time! The following are photos from last year. Looking forward to take photos again this year, if the situation permits.

Single shot, no crop

Hey A small test with my new Tamron SP 90mm F / 2.8 Di MACRO 1: 1 VC USD, it is an excellent lens, and stabilization is a plus for the macro offering greater freedom of use. I just set the back front focus before trying it. Hoping that you like it ;) 21/05/2020 08:26:21 1/160s, f/9.0 Canon EOS...
