ground bee with pollen

ground bee with pollen by adrians_art.
my first ground bee of this year , taken with macro it was kind enough to sit up on the flower with all that pollen and look straight at the lens, I do like cooperative insects!!

You are all invited to visit our web site if you so wish the address is www.adriansart.co.uk please let me know what you think of it.

This guy has really taken its jobs seriously with all that polen. I haven't realized this kind of shots were possible at all. Great shot!

Wow! That's an awesome shot Adrian!! I love good macro shots.

I don't own a proper macro lense myself but I've played around with a macro extension tube. I found it really difficult to get a decent depth of field though. Do you mind if I ask what your exposure was for this and what lense you use?

Wow! what a wonderful macro capture, to see the pollen on the bee. Adrian I don't know how you do it, this should be in a nature book of some kind.

My daughter and I really really liked your picture. She wanted you to know that it inspired her to draw her first picture of a bee!! (She's only three... she likes to leave comments via Mommy on flickr).

She's now off to visit bee.com according to her. :)

Thanks for sharing!
