Bees, almost bees, wasp, flies...

Sorry that should be Canon 200-800

It's not good for close-up work. I take my 100-500mm when it's more likely I'll be doing insects, and it's still great for birds. The el cheapo RF 100-400mm is really good for insects.

Tried something different. I have used my Laowa 85 mm and big 200-600. Macro is a lot of work since no AF and 200-600 hard to get good image size.
So today I took out my kit lens 24-105 no flash and got some half decent results. View attachment 225328View attachment 225329View attachment 225330View attachment 225331

Another lovely series.

Just bought a Laowa 55mm tilt-shift macro lens.
Here are some shots with the fully tilted lens of cause hand held and fully manual focused.
The focus peaking helped a lot to adjust the focus plane.

Amazing eye on the second one.

I have seen a million deer flies and had no idea how their eyes look.

Very nice macro. The fly is amazing. Well done.

Looking at that fly, I just keep thinking of Jeff Golblum.
But it is still a great image.
