Macro photography is...

...hard on the knees

I spent ages trying to get a good shot of the countless honey bees, bumble bees and other insects that were on a particular bush yesterday. Those critters just move too damn fast to capture! I only ended up with one that was half decent:

The focus is ever so slightly off, and the background is a tad distracting too.

Its also a 100% crop

Anyway, hope you like.

Not bad considering it's a 100% crop. Which lens did you use ?

Pah, wuss tbh... i use a 1mm lens and actually entice the bees to sting just so i can get a good shot...

Seriously tho, crap jokes aside, i like it

It is nice Joe, just a shame it can't pack more detail in due to the crop!
