Don't Worry, Bee Happy :)

Managed to catch a few super macro shots of Bees out in my back garden the other day.

Pretty impressed with the results as they were not staying on one flower for longer than a few seconds.

Macro Light

I enjoy taking macro and super macro shots of various different items but when close to a subject (especially in super macro) available light is always an issue.

The lightbox helps and a tripod can be used for getting clearer lower light shots but they can't always be moved on static, non-movable subjects.

So, taking some inspiration from Photophool amongst others I have made a virtually free macro and super macro lighting device....

It might not be pretty but it does the job.




Here are my first couple of shots with the new lighting rig!

Moon-Light!

Thought this was a little different...
