Friend of Ours
Bees are mysteriously disappearing all over the U.S. This worries me. What will we eat? http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070223-bees.html ~~ Photograph taken by reversing the lens and holding it up to the camera body. Focusing is achieved by moving closer or further away from the subject. Tricky business when the subject’s a bee!

Thanks Jared and Antoine! I forgot to mention, I didn’t alter the image at all – this is straight from the camera.

I’m glad you enjoy it – some people I’ve shown this shot to seemed a little freaked by the, well, insect-ness of it. :-)

Amazing color + focus technique!
The possible reasons for diminishing bees are pesticides [bees are fragile] + cell phone towers messing up their ability to direct other bees to the pollen they find.
