She looks like she's wearing a pollen crown!
Yes she does! I missed a few other pictures because I was twisting the focus ring too fast and she was moving too fast, but I liked that one. The lens just showed up on Saturday, so I'm still primarily taking pictures of unmoving objects. Loads of fun though, and when I decide on my "forever" lens system I'll most likely pick up a nice macro lens or two.
Bees are macro on hard mode, they never stop moving. You did a fantastic job. I always end up using burst mode and prayer. Have fun experimenting!
Thank you! It'll be fun I'm sure.
