Description I injected a flower with corn syrup and then waited for one of the ladies to feed. Lots of deleted frames...

Tech Specs: Canon 1D Mark III (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MPE-65mm macro lens (@3x) + a diffused MT-24EX

This is pure insanity. The level of detail simply blew me away, can't believe the depth of field on it.

What an incredible photograph!

curious, what does the injection 'do'? attract? facilitate slower feeding?

The amount of nectar in a flower is very low, and the bee will quickly finish it and leave. By injecting the flower with corn syrup I'm giving them more to eat, so they will give me more time to shoot.

My pleasure!
and again a very nice shot
Is it aperture 13 or 11? because on the right stands 11?!
but its anyway a very big DOF for F13 or F11 I think
