Bee in a flower

Macro photography is not usually the domain of happy snappers but with digital cameras making good photography more accessible you might be tempted to give this a try.

I bet if you did you'd start with a flower, capture every petal. But how about a bee, close up on a flower, with pollen encrusted legs.

Have you ever photgraphed a bee up close?

I have!
But
bee cause

I didn't have a good camera, it didn't come out so good. They are so cute with their little
bee heads stuck in the flowers.

No I haven't. Well not deliberately anyway! I have taken quite a few close up photos of flowers so there may be a bee in there somewhere :)

No.

by Vee

yes, I have. I love macro photography. I had to sell my macro lens about 5 or 6 years back. I've been wanting a different macro for the past few years but financially, it's not in the cards. At least not right now.

Good for you. I rely on press button settings. Strictly an amateur but it is a lot of fun.

by Gayle Beveridge

My first attempts ended up a fuzzy blurr but I finally got one and then another. I'm hooked on macro photography now.

I haven't, but we gave my daughter a camera for xmas, and she's been chasing all the bees in the yard lol

No I have not and this is not high on my list of priorities!
I am petrified of bees as well as many other creepies that sneak up on you, and would certainly not risk going close to one.

Guess I could use the zoom on my camera, but it is still something I probably would not do.

by Finy

Yes, I love photographing things and bees up close

by frost

Ahhh, no. Doesn't hold any interest for me.
Also bee's sting! Got bitten by enough hornets' as a kid to stay well clear of stinging creatures!

Jeebus, a mozzie bite causes major problems for me. A bee sting might just
bee the death of me. Nup, luv the good work they do but I avoid them like the plague.
