Slurp VII
Same bee as in Slurp V. just with a little better framing. I used Topaz DeNoise to remove image noise and Topaz Detail to sharpen it. I've already registered Detail and I'm gonna register DeNoise right after I post this shot...
I baited this bee with honey (pasteurized) by injecting it into a Rosemary flower with a hypodermic needle and syringe. Once she started feeding I grabbed onto the Rosemary branch with my left hand, rested the lens on that same hand, and took the shot.
Tech specs: Canon 40D (F14, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MPE-65mm (@3x) + a diffused MT-24EX (-1 FEC). For post processing info see my blog post on Topaz Labs.
