Worker Bee

This is one from this afternoon,this little worker bee was working his socks off,as you can see he is covered in pollen:) C&C welcome!http://i60.tinypic.com/20rogau.jpg

Very busy bee David,I'm glad that you are well enough to shoot again:)

Excellent shot; full of life :)

Cheers Binnur,I am about 90% back to normal so hopefully another day or so and I will be fighting fit again;)

David

Thank you Nandakumar,much appreciated:)

Hi David, I'm surprised they can still fly with all the extra weight of pollen being carried:) Well captured as always and a good flower you caught him on.

Keep them coming.

Grahame

Very nice.

Cheers Grahame,appreciated bud,yes as you say it's amazing the amount they can pack onto themselves and still fly:D

David

Cheers John:)

Excellent capture, David...

Goood to see you back in action David. I really like this image, the honey bee is VERY cool but what I really like Is the way the Flower seems to have made its own vignette.. Very awesome.

David,

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass. A little more sharpening and a tad more contrast – perhaps.

Nice capture. :)

David - lovely capture. what settings and lens were you using - apologies I can't ever seem to capture the exif data on posts or I would look myself. Also, as I have been experimenting with photostacking I'm interested to know if this is just one shot or more than that ?

Thanks
Kaye

Thank you Claudio,yes nearly back to normal,if there is such a thing:o,i agree about the flower, although i did put a small vignette on it myself;),your version sounds better though:D

Cheers David

Hi Andre,no pain was felt:p,i actually backed off with the sharpening and contrast because at 1-1 it looked too much,but your version definately works:D

Cheers David

Hi Kaye,no probs i have the same bother as you,i can never get other members exif either :(

This is just one shot,handheld,i was using a Canon MPE 65mm lens at 1-1 mag,F14,ISO 200 and 1/200sec shutter speed,i also used diffused flash!

Hope this helps:)

David
