cyrus khamak 0 Posted February 6, 2007 This is regular Honey Bee about 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch (about 1.5 centimeter)caught at 3:1 Macro. Cheers. Link to comment
cyrus khamak 0 Posted February 6, 2007 A 3:1 Live Macro, please look at the detail inside. Thank you for your feedback and honest ratings. If have trouble deciding on originality, please consider the possibility that this may be the biggest and most detailed macro of a bee you may have seen. Thank you. Link to comment

smcgregor 0 Posted February 6, 2007 What a great photo. This guy looks like a warrior. 7/7 Link to comment
blakeyboy 0 Posted February 6, 2007 I think you know this is a great shot and if it were mine i'd be really pleased. What equipment were you using and what are the shooting details? Link to comment
cyrus khamak 0 Posted February 6, 2007 I thank you very much for the encouraging comments, appreciated. Kind regards, Link to comment
cyrus khamak 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Thank you my friend for the feedback. I'm being told, left and right NOT to be modest and this time, I'm not going to be! I used Tamron SP DI 180MM Macro along with a 2X converter and about 130MM of extension tubes. As you know, this makes it a very tuff shooting set up and with the 2x, you lose lots of light and also lose detail! Thank you again. Link to comment
aslavihervuori 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Yes, it really looks excellent for me. If I am picky, I would like to see its whole left antenna. But then it looks so angry that I want to shut whole photo! I am allergic, you see :) Seriously, I like this a lot. No ratings, a s l a Link to comment
cyrus khamak 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Jeff, Chris and Carl for the feedback and kind remarks. I appreciate the time you took to stop bye and commenting. Best regards. Link to comment
cyrus khamak 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Thank you for stopping by. When you get that close to something like this, you have to cut your frame at some point. I did want to include it's right legs in the shot though. Regards. Link to comment
mary fran 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Outstanding Cyrus, tremendous focus and detail, beautiful light and color. Having seen your Macro work I now refer to my own as "baby" Macro's, "still" haven't seen anyone else working at this level...incredible. Link to comment
kolaczan 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Probably not the biggest or the most detailed macro of a bee I've seen. However, very solid shot. You nailed the DOF (not an easy thing to do at the best of times) and the colours look great. Live bee, hand held... Very well done. Link to comment
cyrus khamak 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Mary and Therese for the very generous comments. Cheers. Link to comment
cyrus khamak 0 Posted February 7, 2007 I thank you for dropping in and commenting my friend. You certainly seem to know the business.

rafikrkamel 1 Posted February 7, 2007 cyrus my freind, all i can say is that mastery of macro shooting combined with an artistic color perspective can only lead to shots like yours. things i specifically like: 1. details2. grad in the colors of the bg are gorgeous3. handling of that heavy setup and getting a shot of this caliber with it:) my regards, RK!
