I was really surprised to find a female Leaf Cutter Bee foraging for pollen on a Dandelion in late October (2021). I thought they would have been long gone for the year.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F13, 1/200, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -2/3 FEC. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI and Clarity in that order.
Notice the many golf-ball sized divots in the body of this elephant seal. These were caused by the terrifying cookie-cutter shark, the existence of which I would have preferred to remain ignorant. Elephant seal mother and nursing pup, Piedras Blancas, California.
Blade to clean the ceramic glass cooktop. The handle suffered a bit due to the heat from the hotplate.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
I really liked the colors and shallow dof with this choice. I used my 50 mm lens with a photo aperture control as an extender..on my Nikon d7100 post processing LR.

Bamboo should be cut before sunrise in order to produce the best quality if it should be used as building material.
Sandafell is like a ship’s prow cutting through the mist, except the mist moves rather than the mountain
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.
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.
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 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.

I'm off to the Arena Seminar in Bournemouth tomorrow … leaving home at 9am, so should be there for lunch.
On the Saturday afternoon there is what is called a print walk, whereby those attending to listen to the speakers, can take along their own work to show. It gives everyone something to look at in between the end of the lectures for the day, and dinner.
Last year I took along a panel of 10 and said I would take work again this year. I had intended to do a panel of 15, but I've done 20. I may not be in the same league as everyone else attending, but I've done something, so feel quite chuffed with myself, as I know many wont bring anything for the rest of us to see.
Anyways, I got everything printed and mounted today by about 3.30pm, so feeling even more chuffed with myself for completing what I set out to do.
So yesterday was my 22nd birthday, and MachineGames must've known since they gifted me 2+ hours of gameplay footage for Wolfenstein 2. I watched, I got ideas. As usual. One thing in that gameplay was a new weapon. A massive, hip-fired laser that honestly seemed a bit OP. But whatever. It gave me the idea of a futuristic construction tool. A semi-portable laser cutter for construction sites and industrial work. Is it practical? Probably not especially with that bigass battery. Is it cool? Damn right it is. Big lasers are always cool.
An early morning out at the lake and I found this fellow perched nicely for me to play around with macro.
