Red Mason Bee II
It rained this afternoon and when it stopped I went looking for something to shoot and found this waterlogged male Red Mason Bee in a flower covered in pollen. This time I managed to find a composition at five times life size.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (5x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering with -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI, Denoise AI, and Clarity in that order.
