Macro Bumblebee on Echinacea

Bumblebee on Echinacea · **6 Likes**

I have discovered macro photography doesn’t require travel thus saving gas. I just walk in the backyard and hunt around the flowerbed. This bumblebee stayed in the same spot for sometime while I took several photos. Single shot with diffused flash.

Excellent macro of the Bumble bee. You got the focus right in this shot. You do save gas shooting in your yard. I shoot lots bird photos in and around my yard. To get these images, I would need to also plant some attractive flowers. Thanks for sharing.

That is not only a great photography shot, but it is also interesting in the recording of details of the biology on display here.

Thanks MikeNArk! I have planted mostly native flowers but the nonnative sunflowers seem to attract the most insects.

What an amazing capture. Razor sharp, wonderful colors, composition and colors. A real joy to just sit and soak it all in. Thanks very much for posting.

Fantastic macro with excellent details and colors. It is great when a bee is cooperative like this one and allows you to compose such a nice shot.
