This is about as close to macro as I’m ever going to get.
These Bees (or whatever) are on Trumpet Vine flowers. Some up maybe 8 feet off the ground. We have some pretty big vines, loaded with flowers each year, and growing higher all the time.
I do my best to get open shots, usually with the lens pushed all the way. This takes practice too. I need to get much better with patience, getting more depth on focus, and finding subjects.
Best viewed large, these critters are small lol.



Specs; OM-1 (1), OM 12-100. Finished with ON1, Topaz.
You’ve done pretty well Ted. Weird bee, nothing like here.
Yeah, well I’ve seen some of the bugs you have…..
