Many Thanks to Jacobs for this macro outing at NTU.
Had an enjoyable experience this morning.
Lastly, thanks to the other Macro Masters on their insightful ID knowledge on the bugs.

Sharing some of my humble shots.
C&C are always welcome.
Looking at improving my shots.

Bee Series

Ninestar, nice shots... As I told you, you got some good shots of the bee. I like the one with a lot of pollen flying around. The bee is like hanging in some of your shots because the bee's leg was caught on the flower....

Try to shoot closer to get 1:1 or can use extension tube to make your subject more magnified so you don't need to crop which will show noise. Just a humble opinion though....

Thanks, Melvin.

I was just lucky to get the shots of the bee and thanking you for sounding out that the bee is nearby to my leg.

I tried shooting closer but at 1:1 the lens barrel protrubes to a certain length. It scares away the bee/dragonfly/insect. Nevertheless, will try to shoot much closer the nxt time.

Extension tube or a Teleconverter will be a good choice but the 180mm looks like a better choice. ;p Early Xmas present wishlist!!!

[unknowger]
