An early morning out at the lake and I found this fellow perched nicely for me to play around with macro.
320 second, ISO 400, F:16. 50mm lens with Raynox 250 + 20mm extension tube. Nikon D7100 camera. On camera flash going through a Gary Fong diffuser.
Fincastle, Alberta, Canada.
This male Leaf Cutter Bee (Megachile sp) was only in my Lavender for a few days, so I tried to get a lot of different compositions.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the fill for this shot), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I'm holding on to the Lavender stem with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.
Taken for Macro Mondays group, theme 'Cutter'. Week 10/2020.
This is a set of pastry cutters. The largest is 4 inches so this is just a part of it.
It's lit with a couple of LED lights. I've cropped it to 16x9 but otherwise it's straight out of the camera.
The 2015 Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend had a wide variety of boats from kayaks on up to big schooners. This gaff-rigged cutter just completed an 11-year circumnavigation of the world. The boat in the background is the historic Dorjun with her lifeboat hull and curved gaff.

I found this Leaf Cutter Bee early in the morning, covered in pollen, and the dew had slowed its metabolism down. While photographing it the critter woke up and started "chattering" -rapidly opening and closing its mandibles. It looks intimidating, but it's not trying to bite but simply trying to get its blood pumping. Kinda like when we get cold and shiver.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 4x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order.
Here's the famous "Eaf" cutter bee sealing her egg in a bamboo stem.
Hopefully this pupae will hatch next year to start the cycle all over again. (That rhymes !)
I found this Leaf Cutter Bee early in the morning and the dew was slowing its metabolism down. While photographing it the critter woke up, started to forage, and then did some pre-flight maintenance. Very common for an insect to clean itself before leaving a flower. The tricky part about this shot was getting all of the important bits in focus when the depth of field was only about .6mm thick and the critter was moving.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order.
This male Leaf Cutter Bee (Megachile sp) was snoozing in my Lavender for a few days. We seem to have a lot of ground dwelling solitary bees in my area, and that's a good thing!
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (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 Lavender with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.
I spent a great deal of my time this year in the garden with my camera to hand. I wasn't aware of the variety of insects until I started photographing them.
This bee is a leaf-cutter (Megachile Centuncularis). He had a lovely time collecting nectar from a Bidens ferulifolia.
Yep, the plasma cutter from Dead Space, nearly finished.
Modified it a bit because of laziness at the grip, which is Duke's.
Please tell me what you think about this! :]

Turf cutter, Ireland (watercolour). For centuries, peat (turf) has been used as fuel to heat home in Ireland. The country is now abandoning this practice because of habit destruction and CO2 emmissions.
This I. P. Hyde knife belonged to my grandfather many years ago. One of my treasures for wood engraving.
