I cropped this @ 16:9 suitable for desktops! I've taken a lot of bee photos this year, but this might bee my favourite
I'm shooting with a Sony APS-C camera and a sigma f2.8 18-50mm lens.
This was shot with natural light and no special equipment (besides the camera). I did a little work in Lightroom (lightweight Photoshop) but this is mostly as shot.
I got pretty lucky with the light here though.
Edit: I should add that I deleted about 70 photos from this mornings session. I shoot a lot and pray to the autofocus gods.
Very impressive!
