Bumble Bee Pollen Mining

The last of the Bee images (This one Pollen Mining) on a wildflower naturalized up in the shelter belt (woods) west of our homestead.

Photographic Musings:

This image ended up with a particularly deep focus for this kind of work. Much of the image is fairly sharp which is noticable to me at least as I’ve done a few of these lately lolol

This particular ultra macro lens has a ring of LED’s around it’s periphery which helps tremendously in cranking up the f stop numbers to give yourself a deep focus. For something less than an inch long….from about 2 inches away…pretty deep field of focus….. So High F-stop = deep field of focus (thick) but you loose light gathering ability the higher the fstop number. Light has to come from somewhere, so make longer exposure speed and or turn up ISO (camera sensitivity) higher. Higher ISO numbers give you grain soo…double edge sword.

Anybody got a cell phone photo like this? They would work for this I believe.

Location: Bliss Dinosaur Ranch, Wyoming/Monana borderlands.
