View OriginalHere's our little studio. The white paper was used as reflectors, wax paper was set across the two reflectors to defuse the light and the flash was held, by hand, above the wax paper.
The second photo is a composite of about 20 photos. Since the depth of field is so narrow, I took many photos adjusting the focus between each one and then pasted together all the in-focus parts of each photo. It could be better.
All the orange bits is pollen from the flower.
Wow, look at all that pollen. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say that I'm the brave one who caught the bees and I have bee phobia. Nice shots btw. I like yours better because of the position of the bee and the lighting on his face is a bit better.
