Feeding Honeybee
I injected Agave nectar into a Lavender flower to give this honeybee a reason to let me get close.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 400) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (under 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I'm holding on to the stem of the flower with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady. ISO and shutter set to expose for the natural light in the background (under exposed by a stop).
