Model Tryout, pt. 2 - _TNY_7958
Trying out some different flash/diffuser solutions and this common green furrow-bee (Lasioglossum morio) was kind enough to stay still in one place for me.
L. morio is quite a lot smaller than a common honey bee and this was taken using a MP-E65mm at the full 5:1 magnification with a Canon Speedlite 580EX II and the first version of an aluminium diffuser based on one constructed by talented German photographer Flo Dzula. (Go check his work out!)
