Best Viewed Large on Black -- Playing around in Lightroom. I believe this is a Male Carpenter Bee.

 

I really like the detail and sharpness on the Bee but he exposure/lighting were a little off for this photo. I think the sun went behind the clouds when I snapped this and I can't seem to brighten it up without blowing the highlights. So I went with another "Summer Haze/Early Evening" Theme.

 

C&C is appreciated!

At Dirleton Castle Gardens, Dirleton, East Lothian, Scotland.

In a back garden in Wolverhampton.

Using Canon kit lens 18-55mm and Raynox DCR-250 for the first time.

A bee making the most of the wild flowers. I forgot how good for macro the Olympus E-620 body is. The colour representation and detail is as good as any. I used it as a second body today as the E-5 stay clamped to my 50-500mm mostly.

These images are 1:1 on the sensor so are quite magnified on FLICKR.

 

7/9/13. On my list today was to deadhead one of our lavender bushes. While I snipped away, the bees sipped away. After I was done, I fetched my camera and shot a few dozen shots. Got a couple of good ones.

My September bee blocks from the Brit Bee are finally a quilt. Yay! Blogged here - canadianabroad-susan.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/better-late-t...

I find that doing 365 photos I must keep pushing my self and my camera. This photo has two unique things . First it was hand held no tripod and second the sun was high over head so nun of those defining shadows we look for in early morning and late afternoon. I like this one and hope you do to.

Another welcome sight in the garden for 2014. Feeding on the 1st Dandelion's in the garden

Mining bees, or digger bees, (familys Andrenidae & Anthophoridae)

 

There's a bee on this and nobody seems to notice.

a bee shot with vintage tamron adaptall 105mm f/2.5 lens on 2 sets of extension tubes mounted on 5DII & lit with 580exII flash (mounted to side with diffusor ETTL +2 power). ISO100 F/32 & 1/160 ish shutter speed.

We had some huge basil bushes this year, and I had never seen their flowers before. I went out to photograph them, but I hadn't planned on the bees.

So difficult photograping small moving subjects!
