Lovely shots IMHO.
Love the soft light and the pastel backgrounds too.
If I had to have a moan, it would be the light stripe running vertically in the lower part of the 2nd shot. Easy to clone out though.
I would be more than chuffed if these were mine.
All lovely shots icy, you have now officially joined the Bee club
Do you mind if I ask what was your setup for these shots?
As a beginner to macro, I am keen to learn !
Sure, always happy to help but I am still learning as well I am using a Nikon D7100 and Sigma 105mm + raynox 250 + Nissin i40 with DIY chocolate tube diffuser (original idea from @Carlh pringle diffuser).
Macro is a VERY additive hobby, be aware!!!!
Edit: I wear a pair of trousers that I can put knee pads in so I could knee down on the floor comfortability. I have got elbow pads too.
Yes lots of benefits, you get to photograph lots moreThanks Graham lol, these are the only good bee shots I have taken within 2 years, do I still qualified to join the Bee Club? Any benefit to join the club? lol
I have been taking macro photos for a couple years now but I never got a bee shot that I am pleased. Today, a windy and cloudy day, I took a few that I am happy with.Hope you will like them too.
