Keine Ahnung welche Art. Sie schien mir etwas schlanker und eine Idee größer zu sein als die Wespen, die uns immer auf dem Pflaumenkuchen nerven.
I was only commenting on a friends photo of this lovely hawkmoth this week and saying that I had not seen one for several years to find this in my conservatory this morning
Moth in the "studio". Trapped on the living room ceiling. Has the wonderful name of the rose-flounced tabby. Endotricha flammealis
Focus stacked using zerene
Pretty much the same setup as the first images in this series, but I'll list it all again here.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (almost 3x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: It was windy and the bee could not tell the difference between the vibration induced by the breeze and me grabbing onto the stem of the flower (with my left index finger and thumb). I then rested the lens on my left hand, so that subject and camera were on the same "platform". I set the shutter to 1/50 to pick up some color in the background. The flash was the primary light source on the subject, so I was able to use the short duration of it to freeze what little motion was left and get a sharp image. I was also shadowing the subject, but the critter was more hungry than afraid of me. Once I got close and set up I stayed close, turning the stem between my finger and thumb as the subject moved so I could keep it looking toward the camera. Once I take the camera away the subject will fly off.

Technique: I was holding on to the Lavender stem that the beetle was on with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady. The background is a piece of blue plexiglass with some cloth, that has glitter on it, behind it.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (-2/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
This little solitary bee has collected a lot of pollen!
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on Kaiser adjustable flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I don't know why, but sometimes a bee's metabolism will tank. This flower was in the shade, and maybe the transition from being in the sun to being on the flower was enough to cause the critter's metabolism to drop. But whatever the reason the bee allowed me to get close enough for this shot. Some of you have asked me how close I get to my subjects, and if you look in the lower left corner that's my index finger :)
