  I’ve been trying to capture macro shots without dragging the tripod, reflectors, flash, associated trunk full of equipment around with me. This shot is from last weeks adventure at the Wildlife Recue center in Coral Springs, FL. CC welcome. ISO 400, 1/320sec, f/10, 105mm nikkor S

  Thanks everyone, The flower is on a tree called a Powder Puff. Common in S. Florida. I’ve been shooting in burst mode, hoping at least one is in focus. I would have preferred the deeper DOF I would get on a stack, but outdoors with a live subject just wouldn’t work.

  Nailed the colours @jdublu – I might try a vignette to bring the eye more immediately to the bee. Nice work though.

  I agree with everyone’s comments Jay. It is a great shot and I love the contrasting colours. Great details too 🙂

  Would not have guessed that was handheld! Tried Rob’s idea to bring more light onto the bee.
