Once the butterflies were finished hanging out with me the other day, I found these little guys to focus on. They were almost as cooperative as the butterflies, but they just aren't quite as pretty. All shots were taken with my 100mm 2.8L macro lens at f/10.
only a 100mm lens? wow! I probably wouldn't get that close to it! :) I've shot a bee long time ago with a 50mm. Of course, the bee was on the other side of a window. :D Great capture, Deb. I love the last one the best. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteDeb, they are just lovely, the third one is my favorite. Hope all is well, having a hard time making it around to visit everyone lately. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteI love taking pics of bees, I hold a special place in my heart for them b/c of my learning disability and the acronym that bees aren't supposed to fly, yet I've accomplished things I shouldn't be able to do at all, like read! These shots are stunning!!!
