Amazing macro work Peter!!!!
Peter Martin replied

Thanks Sharon – i luv bees – but i never realised until now they have petite little white necks and the sockets that their antennae attach to are white.. ?? how sweet is that!! :)

I noticed the white necks too Peter, it looked like their heads detached only hanging on by the internal white tubing :-) quite fascinating. Nicely captured.
Peter Martin replied

they are quite amazing things, aren’t they. and they don’t sting – maybe they like the publicity??

I’m hopeless with insect shots (keep trying, but the little rotters don’t stay still long enough for me!!!!)
Great macro Peter!!
Peter Martin replied

(of course (and don’t tell anyone) I am cheating big-time – 150mm 1:1 + 2x teleconverter + 25mm tube + flash + chair) but you’re right, the number of times I’ve got everything ready then… hey where’d it go? (but bees are good – very short short-term memory – in a little while, if you wait, they come back and try to milk the same one again.. and again. :)

Stunning macro Peter. The details ar so clear and sharp. You can even make out the little tears in the bee’s wings.

Thanks Kylie 8-)

Really beautiful macro Peter! What settings did you use to capture this one?
Peter Martin replied

F/16, 1/250secs, ISO-200, 300mm, hand held with Flash

(note the F/16 is really only F/8, but the teleconverter’s electrics double the aperture info coming from the lens to the camera)
Peter Martin replied

the 300mm combo has a maximum F of F/45, so F/16 is way below half way
Peter Martin replied

PS: am looking forward to seeing your Byron photos!! :)
