Default Honey-Bee

A drop of honey catches the bee: I did this shot with my Canon Eos 50D and the m-pe 65 macro lens. How do you like it?

Hello BB and welcome to DPS. You got this guy real good. Focus as sharp as a razor, but then you have one of the best Macro lenses for the job. I look forward to seeing more stunning images like this one from you soon. Stay with us. We need guys like you. PAUL

Beautiful color, amazing clarity! I know how fast these guys can move, they don't exactly give much time to set up a shot! Great capture!

The shot is no doubt, amazing and simply fantastic. What only lacks is light. I think if you want to take better macro photos (like this one) then you should invest in a right flash/light or a twin flash (or any other lighting system designed for macro photography). That will give you better results.
