I love this shot! they seemed to have enough pollen on their hind legs.
Square format works well. Well done.

Nice shots.

Very studio liked. I like the pollen on their legs too.

You went close to them bees to take them?? Won't they sting?

willyfoo · 26th February 2004

No... you can be surrounded by them and they won't bother you... unless u bother them..

Hi willyfoo,

Amazing shots! What lens and setting you use? Pls share so I can improve on my close-up nature shots. Need to learn more from you!

BUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIINGGGGGGGG!

Used a Nikon AFS 80-200mm F2.8 with a Canon 500D closeup filter...
It was shot at 1/60sec at F8.

There was a lot more it could be improved though and I'm going back on the 7th March to redo this shot. You are welcome to join

Good try willy, love the motion induced in the photo

Very good shot Willy

I agree with Avatar on the motion - love it.

Just a small nitpick, if there is any showstopper it would be the small patch of purple on the background just on the left of the flower. Otherwise it is perfect.

Cheers

I fully agree... didn't notice that when I was shooting... should pay more attention next time.

This is really a wonderful shot, very eyes pleasing...

Are you using tripod and flash (manual/auto) hope I'm be able to join you on 7th march...

Thx for shring...

willyfoo · 29th February 2004

I was using a monopod... though it's very tiring, wished I had used a tripod instead..
Everything else was on manual..
