Took the macro lens into the backyard today to capture some bees at work before the lawn mower attacks...

Great work Adam. The second would be my pick of the bunch, nice angle and composition.

Thanks Geoff. That's my favourite too.

Nice work Adam - #2

Yeah #2 is a ripper ! Harder than it looks to get these little buggers in perfect focus and get good backgrounds so you did tremendously well.

My favourite is #4 bit of an action shot as he is taking off. You can see the pollen on his face

The first is my favourite and then #2. Great detail in both of them.

Adam

A great group of images, but it's #2 for me as well. I think it's a more novel take on the shot and is stronger as a result - we tend to look at these guys from above.

Thanks.

I kept the POV in the forefront of my mind as I'm always hearing/reading people say to change the POV to something other than what we normally see. It was easier said than done though... I used live view and manual focus to try and get the camera as low as I could.

Very nice work on getting so close!
