Jim, Nice! Love to see that other people like to take pictures of bees as much as I do. #1740231

Thanks Beth - yes we are two bees in a pod (ohhhh my kids would call that a dad joke). #11808449

Love this! Love the details in the bee. What type of lens do you use for your bees? #11809225

Great question, Jacquie. I did not use a macro in this case. On my mirrorless 4/3 camera, I used a 40-150mm (which translates to 80-300mm in 35mm equivalents). Fully extended, and I cropped in on the subject. Thanks! #11809392

Wow! What a great shot of a monster bee, Jim! Fantastic macro without macro lens! #11809624

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
