The more I see of this the more I am tugged in the direction of a good macro lens. Good work.
Thanks, Greg! With some effort, the macro lens can produce the detail, that's for sure. :)

DenDiMarco yes good photo, but more beautiful was the attention to providing details to fellow UHH people.
Thanks for the perspective, DPullum. I wasn't sure if I should provide the details, but now I'll be sure to continue doing so!
By the way, I enjoyed you signature line, especially "gather ye pixels while ye may."
Good stuff! (I gather a lot of pixels!)

Boone, thanks for your kind words! I had read about the side mounted flash in a photography article on macros and decided to try it out. I do like the effect!

I'd have to give you 4.5 stars on that one! You nailed it as well! Like the side light, and the setting worked well. Your right...the download really shows it off. Nice shot indeed.

The flower appears to be a Coneflower. They draw bees! Real similar to a few I took yesterday, posted in the UHH Macro forum. http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-331906-1.html
You should join us there!

I looked up images of coneflowers and that's exactly what it was. Thanks, LoneRangeFinder! (nice name!)
I was hoping to get some decent butterfly photos there, but none of my butterfly shots were worth keeping.
I'l check out your link.

Good shot
From the title I thought you either had a very big bee or a very tiny camera, lens and flash rig.

Thanks, Robert!

Excellent!
Thanks, HD! My experimenting paid off. Of course there were lots of shots that I deleted (as is normal)!

While practicing with my macro lens and side mounted flash, I caught this bumble bee in a pretty good pose on an interesting flower. Location was Boundary Creek Park in Moorestown, NJ. Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Canon 100mm F2.8 macro lens, Manual exposure, Shutter Speed: 1/1250 sec, F11 for increased depth of field, ISO: 200, spot metering, side mounted flash, flash at -2 (1/4 brightness)
Distance was 1.5-2 feet.
I was experimenting with settings and this worked pretty well.
I'd say the download is worth it for the extra detail!
