Maintenance series 1-2
It's very common for bees to stop and clean themselves right before leaving a flower and I thought it would be cool to catch them in various stages of cleaning. All of the images in this set were taken between life size and 1.5x
Disclaimer: This is not my best work. I was shooting in an insane amount of wind today and some of these images show motion blur (you can see it at the top of the bees eye -it shows up as a rainbow pattern). Some of these images are the reason why I don't worry about diffraction, since it's a minor optical defect when compared to motion blur or being able to nail the focus...
