Peek! Like most of our native bees, bi-colored sweat bees live in ground burrows that are easy to miss but worth looking for #insects #MacroPhotography #pollinators

    @mostlypixels Thank you so much! No focus stacking for this image! The size of the bee meant I didn't have to up the magnification too high, so I could keep the aperture at f11 which gives a pretty decent depth of field. Most of my photos are single image, though every once in awhile I stack 2-3.

    @mostlypixels Aw, that's high praise, thank you! I haven't done much stacking with either the 60mm (this photo) or the 25mm-most of the time it isn't practical for my camera (it's old) and how I approach shooting (in situ) Can't wait to see what you do with your 65mm lens! It's really a lot of fun to get out there and find things :)
