Canon 7D Canon 180mm macro, Reflector, ISO 100 +0.33 0.5 sec f11
I have a small insect house in the garden and leaf the cutter bees have been busy, here you can see two just prior to maiden flight and on the left you can see one of the bamboos is still plugged by a leaf.
I needed the reflector to get some light into the bees, the highlights on the bamboo and leaf have been reduced quite a bit so I think this a is a pretty accurate representation of the scene.
I had to take dozens of images before I got the two in reasonable focus, one would come out and then go back in whilst the other would come to the edge and start shaking its head, so maybe not prefect but this was the best I could get.
All C&C welcome.
