An errant bee, hung over from a Saturday night out in the cold, but otherwise seemingly OK.

Oh you naughty boy!

Four more bee shots with the X-10 when the critters had warmed up enough to move, but not to fly away. The larger sizes on SmugMug, where the photos are hosted, give a good idea of the close up capabilities of this camera.

Nice shots, the X10 does very well with macro. One thing though, I think they are wasps and not bees.

Well, I think you're right. They're very waspy. By the way, I loved your Jeff Goldblum reference.

I have to fess up! It was dead so I could take my time. I wish all subjects were so cooperative.

Reminds me of Edward Weston's remarks, made on recounting his photo trek through the Colorado Desert. He mentioned he found one dead man (and made a famous photo of him), and added, "Wish I could have found more." One of my favorite photographers.

I hope this is the correct thread for these... Macro shots of a couple of garden flies, taken with my X-E1 plus an adapted Canon EF100 f/2.8 macro lens (preset to f/11), I also had a set of extension tubes fitted for at least #2, possibly #1 as well?.

Apologies for the cropped features, personally I blame the EVF for not keeping up

Impressive closeups! And this is from an "insectophobe" if that's the right word. :wink_old:

A friend of mine has a new place in High Springs, Florida and recently established some bee colonies.
